Knight of Brabantia

My friend and I were in for a big surprise this weekend. Friday night was the society ball for the local Carnaval groups and as we were chosen to perform this year's song, we hadbeen told it was 'mandatory' for us to attend. At said event we soon found out that people were being rewarded for their contribution to Carnaval by means of a certificate. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, as some of the band members are avid builders and their group has come in first in most of the parades since their insurrection. We were entirely blindsided when they announced our names and called us to the stage, were we received aforementioned certificate, a medal and were 'knighted in the order of the Princely Smulnar.'
Fortunately, all this fame and glory has not gone to my head, so one need not fear my retribution should one forget to address me appropriately. (^_-)
