'Today is finally the day.'
For Lucas, no single day had been more exciting or more anticipated than this one.
Months of relentless training, countless hours spent honing his skills, and unwavering determination had all led to this moment.
Lucas had long sought Riley's attention, hoping to prove himself worthy in the eyes of the one he admired most.
Despite Riley's constant indifference, today was different. There would be no escape from this duel.
To Riley, this might seem like just another match, a mere formality in the grand scheme of the festival.
But for Lucas, this was the culmination of all his efforts, the embodiment of his dedication to the knight's code of honor.
This duel was more than just a fight—it was a chance to demonstrate the true spirit of a knight.
'I'm sure he'll see it through my sword.'
