Strength. The strongest - determination and stamina. Bravery and courage. These things were bright in the jester, but were worthless to his king. His blood was valued for the joker he is.
A noble - a knight is valued more so for his blood, rather than his strength.
Baltezar, the jester. The joke.

Lunar Flare Book 1: Crimson Moon
A mischievous jester. A gentle soldier. A secret that could tear their lives apart. Noble born runaway turned jester Thedrick enjoys his job possibly a little too much, and his habit of both teasing and flirting with the king's soldiers often lands him in hot water, though the beatings they serve him never seem to dissuade him or dampen his spirits. Only recently recruited into the royal guard, everyone wants the gentle giant Beowulf to be intimidating, telling him to keep his helmet on to cover his soft face while he stands behind the throne looking menacing, though the soldier would much rather be back home baking pies. When the two of them meet, the guard is enamored by the tiny fool, and becomes his protector, a job that turns out to be a lot more difficult than one might assume, especially when Beowulf learns that Thedrick might be harboring a dark secret.Complete
