hansry is sometimes misrepresented by fans as a lord x knight romance when in actuality henry is of much lesser status and i think that dynamic is equally intriguing if not more. while henry could in theory be MADE a knight for his service over the course of the games, his bio father may be a knight, and he is kind of in something like military service to his lord, he is a commoner. so the power imbalance that (coupled with the sense of devotion) makes the lord x knight dynamic so intriguing is even more pronounced, especially in intensely hierarchical medieval society. hans isn't treating another member titled, landed elite like an equal behind closed doors, not letting another lord into his bed. he's letting the village blacksmith's son - who, as of a few months ago, was illiterate, had no formal education, had (to his knowledge) nothing beyond a passing secondhand business relationship with the nobility, and no expectations of ever leading a life more complicated than marrying a girl from skalitz and spending his days making horseshoes- into his bed, and his confidence. That Hans sees Henry as something like his equal, in some way, as shown when telling Henry about Galehaut and Lancelot, is soooo. first of all, improper. second of all 😏
