Charles is the Mage-King of Genosha and Erik is his best knight. When his sister, Princess Raven, gets kidnapped by the evil dragon Shaw, Erik slays the dragon and rescues her. As per tradition, Charles offers him half his kingdom and Raven's hand in marriage as thanks (well, half his kingdom plus his blessing to woo Raven because really, what's he gonna do, just give his sister away like property? She'd kick his ass.)
But Erik politely declines and says that he doesn't want anything. This situation has come up every time Erik accomplished some quest. Charles keeps making offers of gold, jewels, fast horses, rare artifacts, etc. but Erik declines each time, saying that serving his king is reward enough. Charles is getting kind of embarrassed because Erik is his best and favorite knight but he has no idea how to reward him.
Frustrated, Charles secretly casts some spell to read Erik's mind and uncover his greatest desire. Turns out, Erik wasn't lying. He's madly in love with Charles and angsts over how he's too lowly to worthy of him so instead all he want is to stay by Charles's side as his favored knight.
So the next day Charles holds a private court session just him and Erik. When Erik shows up, Charles is practically naked and lewdly sprawled out on his throne and asks Erik if he'll accept his reward now and Erik is all "asdflkjsds."
