Paldins aren't any kind of "holy knights" in this game.
Most paladins are members of the Sultansworn - the Sultanas bodyguards. Recently they have begun teaching their techniques to outsiders as well - which is why we could learn it.

So do not think of a paladin as a holy knight, think of them as royal bodyguards. They are melee fighters foremost, with some limited magic to enhance them.
