>>5196595>>5196597>>5196600>>5196603>>5196608>>5196622Frankly your character has no idea how he managed to resist magic.
>>5196647>>5196706>>5197023Thank you very much for your warm words. I will try to answer a second time this night.
>>5197057>>5197427To be honest you had absolutely no idea how it happened. But you supposed that it was God’s will. You decided to explain.
-The Holy Spirit must have protected me my lord, my prayers have been answered. We must thank the Lord for my victory.
The baron seemed not to be impressed and he snapped at you after some word to his councillor Elsa. At the same time some people in the grandstands speculated about this "Holy Spirit" that they never heard of. Poor heathens, they were far away from the lights of Christ.
-My court wizard says that no magic or no benedictions have been sent towards you. How do you explain your victory !
He seemed furious, but he could not tell that you cheated because he had no proofs of it. And after all you were innocent. So you said.
-I was in my right. Those in their right always triumph my liege, and this man has stained a lady’s honor. The power of truth can overcome any magic. If winners were not those who were honest we would not use duels in the judicial system.
The answer was silence. A long silence and a sight and the man nodded to let you go. You deduced that he was paralysed by your display of logic and common sense. He then decided to tell the crowd.
-I, baron Crook of Someplace announce that Lord Charles of Local was victorious. His dead opponent shall be buried in three days.
You were happy, it was a great victory and you were now a hero. You managed to best a mage and to triumph against the odds. You decided to bow before your liege and lady Takable who seemed to cry tears of joy.
After your victory and after you had removed your armor you were visited by the lady who said in a very joyful tone.
-My Lord... You... You were magnificent ! You bested a mage and were protected against magic... I do not know what you used but it was brilliant. I am so happy that you won this battle.
You smiled and answered to the beautiful blonde.
-Do not worry, my victory was inevitable. I am happy enough that you were avenged.
She answered while kindly stroking your face with her hand, it was smooth and you reddened a bit at this contact.
-I... Yes... But... But the baron trusted Lord Hostil... And he will probably be unhappy with his death.
