As leal and obedient as any prince could hope for

“Set a task for us, any task, and you shall find us as leal and obedient as any prince could hope for.”

A Dance with Dragons, novel

Hi. The “you” refers to the prince and the speaker is one of the prince’s nieces.

Does the underlined mean “no prince could hope for more leal and obedient nieces than us”?

Thank you.
