Ritual can sometimes be said just to please an eager Knight.
There will be times when a couple are in bed together and the Knight
is very wanting of some sexual activity, and his Princess wants to
please him but does not feel like doing much.
Saying "Ritual" and
allowing her Knight to gently pleasure her is one way a Princess can
please an eager Knight.
So sometimes Ritual can take place mainly for
the Knight's pleasure.
Of course a Princess will never say "Ritual"
when she does not want it to take place.
But when a Knight is very
eager, and his
Princess does not mind, Ritual can be used to enable a Knight
to show
his devotion.
