But finding none that would carp with him, he exclaims, "What! is this Arthur's house, the fame of which has spread through so many realms? Forsooth, the renown of the Round Table is overturned by the word of one man's speech, for all tremble for dread without a blow being struck!" With this he laughed so loud that Arthur blushed for very shame, and waxed as wroth as the wind. "I know no man," he says, "that is aghast at thy great words. Give me now thy axe and I will grant thee thy request!"

The correct answer for 1 should be Humiliation

It is humiliation because King Arthur is being insulted. His knights should be noble and honorable and courageous but they are behaving like scared weak men so he wants to prove that Arthur's court is actually made of valiant knights which would show that you can't humiliate Arthur's court and in turn Arthur himself.

The correct answer for 2 should be code.

A code of behavior is a system of behavioral rules that are applied to people based on the role that they are fulfilling in a society. The code of chivalry applied to knights in courts as there was more or less a set of rules and guidelines as to how they should behave in such a position. The other words are completely unrelated.
