I have a lot of characters who are Kings/other types of Royalty or Nobles, and a normal conversation between characters goes like this:

King Joffrey: Ah, Sir Duncan! A pleasure to meet you.

Sir Duncan: Thank you, your majesty. It is an honor to be in your presence.

King Joffrey: Oh please Sir Duncan, you need not tremble at my presence, we are all friends here. Come, sit!

Sir Duncan: Very well, your majesty. And say, have you heard of the theft that took place down in Hamingshire?

King Joffrey: Oh have I ever. It is all the noble families talk about now.

Sir Duncan: Indeed, they say the thief stole two whole pigs, right out from under the butcher’s nose!

King Joffrey:  nodding  Some kind of ‘scaped (Escaped) pirate or vagabond on the run from the authorities, no doubt.

End scene

Avoiding words that have contractions like “Can’t” “I’m” “don’t” or “You’re” can help a lot as well, and you might want to consider reading some Shakespeare.

“You shan’t stop me, no. No mortal men nor any beast shall stay my pen or still my hands. I write ’til my fingers do turn to dust and my bones give way under me, for such is my zeal in this task. O what joy to be a writer! What chore of my heart’s delight!”
