“Lionheart bows his head then, pride sapped from him and replaced with dawning humility. "I would have fled." "But you did not. I am with you now." The Prince places a hand on Lionheart's shoulder. "You understand, don't you, the difference between guilt and repentance?" Slowly, Lionheart nods. "You understand that you can never absolve your own sin?" Again Lionheart nods. "But you are forgiven. All that is past is past. The man you once were is no more. The man you are now is what matters, and I declare your name in truth: Lionheart. From this moment forth, you will serve me with the courage of roaring lions, and all my foes will tremble at your name, for they will know that you are one of mine.” — Anne Elisabeth Stengl
