Grandiose. That would be a better descriptor of the Great Knights, with their power, loyalty, and glory for the good of the kingdom. They were amazing people.
They are not. They never were, even as Pure as they had seemed, as masterful as their use of Soul had been, second to only the Pale King. They are not a person, they are not a someone as the Relic Seeker is someone. He claims to be of no importance--he may not have been in Hallownest's old days, though the pursuit of knowledge was encouraged--but now, he is a rare being that still exists, thrives, in what's left. He holds desires, he has thoughts, he has voice that enforces these things.
He may not want power, he may be no other Knight or royalty, but he is greater than they by virtue of being truly alive.
They dip their head more, barely, as he did pose a question. No. They do not understand.
