making of a knight

At dawn, I will have to confess all my sins. I am so worried because I will have to admit that I got in a  fight with my sister Anna and broke the laws of chivalry. I hit her! Can you believe it ! I hurt a lady. How impolite of me. If I were already a knight I would have been punished. What if the priest does not let me become a  knight because of all my sins? I feel as hungry as a peasant . The only fear I have is if I get killed or wounded during my first joust. If I got to speak with the king I would tell him it was my honor to serve him and his people. Sadly I will never get to become king, but at least I get to become a noble someday. But I have a few more hours left to fast and I should  not worry so much. What is the worst thing that could happen ?

I just can’t wait until the sword hits me, it was my destiny to become a knight . Just a few minutes until it would. It is a big ceremony and  my whole family is here . Elizabeth, Mary, Anna, Henry, George, Mother and Father.II have been waiting for this moment my whole life . I have been training to be a knight for ten years and have dreamed about this moment so many times. All my dreams have come true; I can already see myself, a knight in shining armor.
