The reply was brief and clear. Lady Alaria had expected nothing more from Lord Cartridge. In fact, that was all she needed — wishes of good luck carried no practical value. She wasn't seeking an easy victory either — the chance to cross swords with some of the kingdom's finest warriors was far more enticing to her than a victory that was, in essence, ephemeral. Especially since, in any case, she wouldn't have been able to use her main trump card today.

Deciding not to delay longer than necessary, the Knight of Catharsis signed up for the tournament, the buhurt, as well as the contests of erudition and elegance — it wasn't just the sword that should be kept sharp and polished to a shine.
