And so, the reality had turned into an irrevocable conclusion.
She had no choice but to accept the facts before her.
This left her sighing in resignation, uttering in disappointment.
"Alright, sir, I believe I understand what you're trying to say."
But even now, the female knight refuses to easily admit defeat. To any warrior, conceding is a shameful act.
She could admit her failure, but she could never admit that she had already lost.
Because losing implies that she had given up resistance.
And giving up resistance is the most dishonorable act for any warrior.
So even with the turn of events, things had not reached rock bottom for the female knight.
She still had the ability to resolve the issues at hand.
She chose to remain silent, causing both sides to fall into a tense quiet standoff.
The elder was waiting for the female knight to concede, but she wouldn't.
Both waited for the other to speak first.
But things weren't so easily resolved.
