Monologue of knight

I am Richard the 4th and I am experiencing the worst part of my life. Fasting. I just had a great bath to wash away my sins. I am tired, hungry, thirsty and my knees hurt. At least all get to see the king and have a big feast with my family. I can’t believe I trained for twelve years to sit and pray for 24 hours. I can’t wait to be richer than Sir Henry the 6th, all the beautiful women will love me for my bravery. I’m a little bit scared of death, I hope I don’t die immediately or die in vain. I worry that God is in aid of the other side of my battles and does not help me.

I can not believe that Knights have to go through all of these rituals just to fight other people, I understand the training but the fasting and bathing and coronation. I am so excited to be famous, everyone is going to sing about Sir Richard the 4th and I will live in a huge castle. I am excited and scared to go into battle. On one hand it could be a lot of fun riding around and killing people. On the other I could die really easily or be punished for doing something bad. I want to serve our lord and that’s the real reason I took this job. Not because the money, not because the women, I became a knight to serve God. I would tell more about my experience but I am so tired I can’t think.
