As he finishes, several individuals in the crowd behind him begin clapping, though they're quickly silenced. The Queen, however, does look pleased with his response. "Your response is deemed adequate." Turning slightly, she addresses the crowd. "Are there any here who might object to this candidate? Speak now, or forever hold your peace."<br/><br/>Silence reigns the Court, and the Queen nods, solemnly. "Candidate, you have been deemed worthy, and are accepted by the Queen and Court without opposition. I ask you now, do you solemnly swear yourself to the service of the Court of Summer, and pledge yourself to the Queen, serving as both her Shield and Sword, providing the swift justice and steadfast determination to her and all of her people? If so, kneel before me, and speak the words."
