Simplified Meaning:

This quote describes a knight who is truly good and noble in every way. It means he is not only skilled in fighting but also kind and well-mannered. Imagine someone who fights bravely to protect others, but also treats everyone with respect―that's this knight. For example, think of someone like a modern-day hero, who not only bravely saves people in emergencies but is also polite, fair, and considerate every day. People can follow this example by aiming to be strong and brave in difficult situations while being kind and gentle in their daily interactions. By doing so, you can earn the respect and admiration of those around you.
