cid is a proud man, he was made the lord commander of waloed in three years, he's overseen victories for waloed against beastmen and rebels; to him, he's reached where he did for his work and not by some grace. So yes, he's proud. Even when he speaks to the king, he says "my liege" with a smirk, a playful, mischievous smile, for he doesn't deem himself lower. His bow is barely noticeable sometimes— he merely bows his head or courtly nods in acknowledgement. It is when they're alone and Barnabas comes closer, slightly grasping at his hair, that cid falls to his knees.
