Unworthy King of the Faithful.
How is this fair?
I offer nothing, yet they give me their swords.
I speak with harsh truths, yet they thank me for my kindness.
I stand humbled by their greatness, and yet they look to me.
I am nothing more than a commoner, equal in every way to them, yet they swear their lives to me.
I am baffled, by their praises.
Honored, by their faith.
And proud to call them brothers.
I do not deserve them, and they deserve more than me.
But my brave comrades, if you will follow me into war, I will lead you to the best of my abilities.
