Francis' First Duel

Francis had an interesting day.

After resting, he had gone to check the family and had discovered that they were looking for a new knight.

A knight that would protect Catalina of Aragon, a princess of the kingdom. One of the three children of the Royal couple.

It was perfect for what he wanted. With such a good position, getting information would be easy.

It was a position that had been occupied by Lancelot before. That is why the princess did not have a knight.

All he had to do was to win while being of interest to the princess.

With these two things, he could get closer to her and learn everything he had come to question.

And he knew there was much to learn.

One example is that in this city-state, Hunters could be harmed with swords.

In fact, this city-state was famous for being able to do such an impossible thing.

It fit very well with the theme, thought Francis. A knight without a sword was just weird.

But he had no idea how such a thing was possible.
