my lords, my ladies and everybody else here not sitting on a cushion. today… today, you find yourselves equals. for you are all equally blessed. for i have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you a knight sired by knights. a knight who can trace his lineage back beyond charlemagne. i first met him atop a mountain in jerusalem praying to god, asking his forgiveness for the saracen blood spilt by his sword. next, he amazed me still further in italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would be ravishing of her dreadful turkis uncle. in greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. and so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, i give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of italian virginity, the enforcer of our lord god. the one, the only, sir ulrich von lichtenstein!
(via latsssss)
