Showing Proper Respect to His Royal Highness
Lyric Weaver
No appreciates the royal family more than me! And making sure the king’s royal chest is properly massaged is showing absolutely loyalty to him. In this court's lore, the king's chest is treated as the literal sanctuary of the kingdom's heart. Touching it is not seen as casual familiarity, but as a sacred duty reserved for the most trusted retainer. By carefully massaging the chest muscles, the attendant is symbolically "polishing the armor" or protecting the king’s emotional core from the corruption and stress of politics. It is a physical vow of loyalty, showing respect for the burden the king carries.
