Conor was stunned by Kayden's response and then found himself laughing. This boy reminded him of his youth, he had the same thoughts. Fortunately, it worked out and he was in the position he was in now. In a way, this was the perfect answer to your question.
"Your majesty, forgive my boldness, but I ask that you allow me to speak for a few seconds," Kayden raised his voice to a Monarch with extreme courage. In the entire stand, none would have that courage.

The problem was, that Kayden didn't feel even an ounce of that pressure. Not even Merlin could pressure him, who would have thought a mere mortal who was light years behind the God?
