Impossible to Win

Eleonora was finishing packing her stuff for the trip when she heard a noise from the door. It was a knock, and she hoped the person responsible was Arthur.

She stopped what she was doing and went to answer. Arthur was behind the door, and what he had to tell her was rather funny.

"How are things going?" Arthur asked.

"I am almost done. What is up with your smile?" Eleonora said.

"Remember James? Your friend from the training field? He challenged me to a duel tonight after he saw me coming to your room."

"What? You are joking, right?"

Never did she think James would do something so stupid. Eleonora thought about going to talk with him and prevent the duel, but he was the one who challenged Arthur, so perhaps there was nothing she could do about it.

Arthur used Eleonora's comfy bed as his resting place while she finished getting everything she needed. Then, when she finished it, it was time to look for Signy and prepare for the duel!
