Stefan believed in me that someday I will be a knight; just like a accomplished knight he started to teach me the ways through the knight song. Stefan is also looking for something else; love. She met a pleasant lady that Domenic thought it is the princess; Stefan's betrothed since he was a kid. Even Domenic remembered when he was young about the princess when she was a baby. Stefan back then did not want to marry her; now he can. Stefan is not aware there is a oath to swear when married the princess; not a simple peasant lady. So I kinda remind him about the oath.
Domenic did remember the curse that Uglicia gave to the princess and so did Stefan; so he and I went to end Uglicia's evil once and for all. During the fight with the Dragon; Stefan gave me a chance to save his life. As the result I was knighted as the first knight of the realm.
(This is my perspective on the character)
