Knights of Tezoth

Round 4, battle 2.
Lord Axel von Himmel vs Lady Nelja Vesta

"What am I doing here on foot at this horse-pegasi-wyvern tournament?" — Lady Nelja Vesta probably thought as she was shot down by arrows for the second time in a battle whose length was known only to the Universe.

Lord Axel von Himmel wins.

"Hmph.. A Real Man!" — thought one of the judge's friends.
"A hero!" — thought the judge's second friend.
As for the judge's face, as always, nothing could be read from it...

- Hmm. The ratings turned out rather uninteresting. I'd like to add some spice, but I don't see how — the competition is too strong. Perhaps such contests aren't quite my thing. Oh well! Nothing to be done, I won't go against my conscience.

- If your heart wishes to drown in a sea of love, that is a reasonable approach, my lord, yet in the search for true love it will not serve you as a friend, for every man and woman yearns to hold a special place in the mind of their one exceptional admirer.

- I cannot vote here. - The dialogue between Lord Teneressa and the participant is cut short by an arrow flying from the lips of Aldelion Grimm. - There is no place for the weaker sex in this matter. And why are women considered the fair sex? Look at lions — males have a magnificent mane, and what do females have? Male gorillas are mighty, radiating stateliness by their very appearance; females beside them are practically a different species. Male peacocks and butterflies are splendid in the span of their wings and variety of colors, while females are most often monotonous boredom. Men are taller, stronger, with more luxurious hair and defined facial bones. Unlike women, they need no concealing makeup or flashy, sexualizing clothing — they are magnificent in their natural state, and for that, one need only avoid sitting on the couch all day.

Somewhere else in the hall, Adalard presses a palm to his face.
