I cannot be other than what I am, Until the man who made me dies, Power and glory will fall to me finally, Only when he last closes his eyes.
Common Wrong Answers
“A knight”
A knight does not inherit power or glory upon the death of their lord; they may serve a prince or king but do not automatically gain authority.
“A squire”
A squire is an apprentice to a knight and does not hold any title of power or glory that would be inherited after someone's death.
“A king”
A king is not the correct answer because a king is already in power; the riddle speaks about someone who will gain power only after the death of the current ruler.
