Just how can I solve this? Let's try talking first, postpone it!
"Your majesty, Captain here seems to be drunk. That won't be fair if we duel now." Please postpone it, please postpone it.
The King looks like he is in deep thoughts. "You do have a point, Valentine."
"Let's postpone it," I suggest.
The King nods in agreement. Whew...the King is surprisingly sensible.
Now I just have to sneak off. Then I see Princess Cordelia's murderous glare. I have to sneak off no matter what!
"Your majesty, as Captain is such a worthy fighter, I think I need to do some preparations. So as to bring you the best match." I look expectantly at the King.
"I think you really have to do some preparation, especially on that potion you promised to give Captain when you lose." Princess Cordelia looks annoyed, but still wears her victorious smile and an evil spark in her eyes.
