    Summary

    A warrior only kneels twice: the first time in prayer, and the second in defeat. All Kremnoans live and die by this, a lesson thoroughly sowed from the wall of their skulls to the hardened bone of their kneecaps, until they grow resilient, unbending legs.
    A king only kneels once — at his coronation, accepting the hefty weight of a jeweled crown over his head, and the responsibility of his land and his people.

    Phainon’s belt clinks, the leather slipping from silver hoops, and Mydei falls to his knees.
