It was never my intention to disturb the peace of your family, my prince. Years may have passed since Ashford, but I haven't forgotten the reason for the trial. A knight must honour his oath— Ser Arlan taught me. I did what I believed to be right, as any true knight would've done in my place. His Grace vouched for me when I thought courage had deserted the noble houses of Westeros back then, and now he has entrusted me with the honour of protecting you despite my lack of refinement, as you say, my prince. I apologise if my presence bothers you.
