The next three matches have Raymond, Claire and Pauline face some knight Hector barely knows the name. The three matches are quickly over, the less experimented knights overwhelmed by the expert's squad members.
Then, Ulric faces Gerade.
Hector frowns as both men whisper some words to each other; words which trouble Gerade deeply. Do they know each other?
The fight starts, and it's pretty clear Ulric got the advantage. However, under the cheers of Hector, Renée, Mathias, Boniface, and Raymond Gerade gathered all energy and dig unsuspected energy.
In the end, the match is way closer than it should have been; the tighter duel of the competition so far, but with a feint on the right, a slap with his left hand, and a stabbing blow, Ulric won.
Gerade is glowing despite the defeat. Hector can feel his gratitude for his comrades in arms, their support in the way of the blade, and help to become a better person.
Comrades with which he feels more and more comfortable, opening his heart and feeling.

Ladies and gentleman, I'm afraid to announce my opponent is not a member of that second category, and I hope he's relocated to the tactical position of arrow-catcher in our next battle...
No, that's not normal. No, there aren't a lot of likely-minded people; you're the first and I hope last one I met that's sexually attracted to that. And that's not a way to start a conversation.
No, I won't <<respect your tastes and natural orientation>>. Let me stop this unpleasant exchange... Right now", Guillot punctuated his sentence with three nimble slash targeting inner thigh, flank and throat.
