I just finished chapter 5 where Fitz steals the dagger from the king and drives it into Chade’s shelf but I’m so confused as to the meaning of these events

So Fitz says he refuses to steal from the king so Chade gets mad at him, but then the king admits that was his test of loyalty. I get that. So then what’s the significance of Fitz taking the knife while the king is watching and then giving it to Chade? does my question make sense?

It's a scene that shows Fritz's character. He won't do anything against his king but he also gets the job done. Or at least that's my interpretation

Ah that also makes a lot of sense. Idk I feel stupid for asking lol but it just felt very specific and deliberate and I couldn’t tell why

And then I guess the king didn’t care because Fitz didn’t take anything behind his back?

Huh that makes sense. I’m just around the part where Fitz’s dad dies so no betrayal yet but I sense it coming
