Path of True Strength

Arthur was disappointed that the knight wasn't as attentive to her own body as to the outside world. The path of true strength stems from within, or that was what a novel Arthur loved said.

"What have you done to me?" the Mad Prince looked warily at Arthur, trying to see through his tricks. In response, he shrugged.

"You should know better since it's your own body."

"I've grown weaker, but how?" she seemed confused, but she shook the feelings away. Arthur smiled as her conviction returned to her. "Forget it. I'm still going to win this."

"That's the spirit!"

"Don't treat me like a child," the knight scowled as she prepared to fight again. Arthur mused that she forgot about her earlier proclamation of gauging his strength and simply wanted to prove herself now.
