Sir Roland adjusted his braces, feeling the weight of his mace in his hand. Across from him stood the formidable Sir Gregory, his own mace raised in challenge.

However, just as the tension peaked, Lady Elara, the fair healer of the kingdom, stepped forward with a look of concern. Her gentle hands pressed to her chest as she tried to stifle a persistent cough that had plagued her for days. Despite her ailment, she stood resolute, her eyes fixed on the impending duel.

Sir Roland, catching sight of Lady Elara's distress, paused in his tracks. His brow furrowed with worry for her well-being, realizing that her healing powers were crucial not just to him but to the entire kingdom.

The clash of metal reverberated through the castle walls, while Lady Elara stood on the sidelines, her cough momentarily forgotten as she watched with bated breath, her healing hands ready to mend any wounds that may come from the fierce battle unfolding before her.
