Grammar
Can I [give/ gt] you my parole?
The protagonist is one of family member of Amber.
His best friend and cousin, Luke had tried to revenge himself on them for the killing of his father.
He just now fell into the protagonist's hand.
He smiled, then lost it, "Why'd you have to be born Corwin's son, anyway?" he said. Then, "Can I give you my parole on this?" he asked.
"I don't know. I'm going to be in a lot of trouble if they find out I had you and didn't bring you in. What terms are you talking? Will you swear off your war against Amber?"
["Trumps of Doom" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know why it is "Can I give you my parole on this?", not "Can I get you my parole on this?".
Thank you in advance for your help.
