*''Series/{{Atlantis}}'' has Ramos, Chief of Minos' Guards. His loyalty is exclusively to the king and the heir, something that turns out to be important in the season one finale.

*''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'' has this apply to all the guards of King Urtica's court. They will obey his orders without question out of loyalty to his leadership no matter how dangerous the foe facing them. It takes serious magic to [[{{BrainWashed}} break that loyalty]], and even on those rare occasions they still [[FightingFromTheInside try to find ways]] to fight back.

* Lampshaded twice in ''Series/{{Sharpe}}'s Rifles''.
** First with Harper, caught out on his own and technically a prisoner of his own side for mutiny.
-->'''Man in Black''': I will give you one hundred guineas in gold, and safe passage to America.
-->'''Patrick Harper''': America? That'd be nice. But you see, the King of England, owes me last month's wages. And I'd never sleep easy in America knowing that that bastard owes me a shilling!
-->'''Man in Black''': You would die for a shilling?
-->'''Harper''': That's what I signed on to do
** And later with Sharpe himself:
--> '''Sharpe''': Rise up? Do you really believe men will fight and die for a rag on a pole?
-->'''Major Hogan''': You do, Richard, you do.
