King Knight, the knight adorned with gold armor, a gold crown, and red fluffy cape ruling over Pridemoor Keep.
Propeller Knight, the French fencer with a helmet I can’t really figure out how it actually works, commanding his Flying Machine.
Both knights are considered by the fandom as fancy and high in social status, but who actually outfancies the other? Well, King Knight isn’t true royalty to begin with, but the fandom appears to overlook one thing that could actually separate the two in terms of social status.
I’m not going to rehash the fact that King Knight is not true royalty, dammit. I’m going to give you some Tips For The Aspiring Social Climber. There is one detail that people are not aware of.

This is the Battle Royale. Anyway, the thing I wanted to talk about was what Propeller Knight and King Knight were doing.
King Knight is periodically lifting his goblet to sip his drink.
Propeller Knight is swishing his wine (well, the French are always associated with wine, and it looks red…) around.
What’s with this?
Propeller Knight is swishing his wine.
Wine tastes BETTER when it has contact with air, although it has to be consumed immediately. Wine, however, is best served cool, and Propeller has his palm under it. However, I believe that it is wine due to recurring examples of using misconception to actually point to something (Shield Knight’s helmet is similar to Valkyrie helms and since Valkyries are Norse aka Vikings, look at our shovelers being the prime example).
And in medieval times, wine was hard to acquire, especially good wine. The French in particular developed winemaking, they have been doing it for centuries. So, if it’s hard to acquire, you need money.
One more thing to note that you won’t really know how to make wine taste better by swishing and slurping (yes, you slurp it in order to taste its fullness) unless you are a rich person for a long time. Until now. You just sip the wine. You don’t swish it. The steps are see, swish, sip, slurp, and then swallow or spit.
It’s likely King Knight only had a taste of wine when he got to that throne and wrapped himself in that floofy cape blanket I actually want for myself. Propeller Knight, on the other hand, seems to have been born with the stuff.
Hi! Nice to see ya! ( ^.^)/ I’m not surprised you have grown attached to Albrecht – a lot of people are, haha. I myself have grown attached to him as well. Maybe because it’s the experience I have that mirrors his story (some personal stuff happened) or maybe it’s my affinity for German! He actually started out as a joke character… and he just… developed xD
To say whether he’ll live or not is actually a bit spoiler heavy. But since I am awesome I will give you hints! Hopefully you’ll get some theories going.
– If you pay enough attention to my use of words and themes, I have been foreshadowing stuff (some of which are still coming up in future chapters because, well, most of the arcs are not necessarily in chronological order) – Albrecht has a prominent lisp and a strong accent when speaking in English despite having intensive practice in French. He changes th’s to z’s. – Z is the 26th letter in the English alphabet, which has 26 letters. – He is Propeller Knight’s very loyal best friend and so he will stick with Propeller Knight and defend until, well, he dies. (”Ich werde ihn schützen bis ich sterbe” back in M is for marriage basically had him announce this epically) – Propeller Knight cares a lot for his crew and treats them like family.
And with that, I leave speculation rolling! Thank you for reading my stuff! You also reminded me of the characterization posts I planned on making that were scrapped when I was down with flu. Happy reading!
Thank you for responding! It means a lot ^u^
Thank you for the hints! I’ll definitely, be looking through them and considering everything to figure out something. These are pretty cryptic, but that won’t discourage me, and undoubtedly others, from trying to figure out something. Also, if I’m honest, I’m actually glad you didn’t directly answer the question. It’s worth the wait.
Yacht Club has just given us our first look at Specter Knight’s campaign as well as some of his move and abilities. King Knight’s story as well as the remaining content promised from the kickstarter has also been confirmed to be in development including the Body Swap and Battle Modes.
