Chapter 104: The Knight Doesn’t Want to Return to Duty (3)
The Silver Lion Knights.
They were the kingdom’s most elite knightly order.
The knights numbered 300. Considering that the salary for one knight was comparable to the value of a thoroughbred racehorse, one might wonder how such a force could be maintained. Fortunately, the wages for Silver Lion members were far lower compared to other knightly orders.
The reason? Simple.
The Silver Lions weren’t paid to serve; rather, knights were willing to pay for the honor of joining.
Founded alongside the history of Pendragon, the order boasted profound tradition. Its countless legends matched its long-standing history, and its symbolism as an eternal ally to Lionel was unmatched.
To belong to the Silver Lion Knights meant inheriting this legacy, legends, and prestige.
For this reason, the sons of high-ranking nobles dreamed of joining the Silver Lions. There was no greater honor, nor a better opportunity to establish ties with the royal family.
Thus, those who became Silver Lions were elite knights who had passed through grueling competition, with odds of thousands to one.
