Lorenzo felt as though he would be physically sick as he looked over his impressive father and lovely girlfriend. The smiles they lavished upon him did little to quell the stirring boiling feeling in his stomach and he held himself with careful stillness with ears pulled forwards and his tail laying against his leg as Jazper spoke. He lowered himself to his knees stiffly before Jazper, still with his heart in his throat. This was the one event he had been dreaming of for months, since before he had even met Juliet. It put him above Aro and Tony, he was first to achieve this honor and now he would be first in Jazper's eyes for a short while. The youngest Knight male had never wanted to push his other siblings out of the light but to garner the portion of his father's time and attention that he saw as his own.
The blade that Jazper pulled out was magnificant and sleek looking, it was not his father's normal sword but Enzo didn't know this ceremony worked, for all he knew this was the ceremonies official sword for appointing him, Enzo would have never guessed in his lifetime that it would be for him. He blinked slowly at Jazper's revelation of a secret being kept, he held his tongue and kept a cap on his curiosity, his father would explain all to him in due time. And he did, as the explanation went on Lorenzo could feel his heart swelling with happiness, true happiness akin to what he felt with Juliet. He had proven himself worthy through his actions, and Jazper was proud of him. He nodded his head again slowly, of course Lorenzo was not as religious as Jazper but he still believed, in Fenris the god and he did thank the sun god for bringing Juliet to him.
The words drifted by him and each struck him in its own way, left its own impact and mark upon his soul. Ever since he had been a child, a stupid young boy with only his little sister to protect, as he had grown his circle of responsibility had grown too, as his growing body had swiftly dwarfed Tony, Aro and even Jazper, he had the power, the strength and the skill so was it not his most important duty, the role that came above everything else. His childhood was a rapidly shrinking time in his past, and long ago had his chance to be young and stupid passed.
He knew the consequences should be fail in his role, to be honest if he did ever break it Jazper might not have to exile him for he would exile himself. It required no thought on his part at the moment, he had spent too long thinking about it and deciding that this was his right path.
"Yes Sole. I ahm readhy." The Knight boy raised his head, focusing on the Oath he would now recite,
"I Lorenzo promise to mah Sole an' Luna tah serve them with absolute loyalty. Ah will face the world without fear of mah enemies or tha darkness. Be brave and love all others so that they may love mahself. Ah will speak the truth always, even if it means death. Protect the helpless and do no evil. This is mah oath"
