Sense of Nobility
Nobility is a certain way that some people cant grasp. A knight must have a sense of nobility about him or her. Those with an aura of nobility about them will get a certain level of respect from people. How can I act like a nobel you ask? Well its easy sorta, Show people respect, have a sense of honor and humility. One must uphold the intentions of your king and defend the monarchy.
Virtues in Everyday Life
Virtues play an important role in a knights life. With out them a Knight would not be a Knight. Virtues must be embraced and assimilated into everyday life for a "Virtue Knight" to be born. A "Virtue Knight" is a Knight who has assimilated all the qualitys of the virtues. Anyways Virtues is what makes a Knight a Knight. A Knight lacking any virtues is not a true knight. When one has gotten to the point of true assimilation of all the virtues into your self a Virtue Knight will be born.
