— I have heard tell of a secret book that betrays the knightly deeds of an era to the judgment of posterity's gaze, delivering them to triumph. Yet history knows that the pages are held by chroniclers. And so I must ask you directly, my lord: does the light of prestige of the worthiest among the best grant you only a retelling of those most valuable, or the smiles of truth shed upon each companion separately? The individual's personality is multifaceted; any knight can appear in the chronicles in a different guise, depending on how the chronicler's pen plays with the tale.
- A seditious truth is worthier than a well-sounding falsehood, my lady. Even if this contradicts the stated goals, I cannot deviate from this principle.
