You are equally matched.
But the Burg Knight is old, even if he still has some will left in his bones. You see his lance wobble around as you both approach one another in a gallop. You can do this, you feel it...
But then, just when you are about to make contact, the Burg Knight spots the girl sitting behind you, still holding on tight. For just a glimpse of a moment his long forgotten conviction returns. He pulls his lance upwards in the last second, unwilling to risk harm coming to the princess. This leaves him defenseless.
You strike him, unable to even process what just happened yet. Your lance shatters apart.
The Burg Knight falls from his horse and crashes into the ground.
The princess lets out a scream and presses herself against you. Your opponent's horse runs off into the wild.
The reality hits you. This was not how you wanted to win... but there is no way to apologize now.
You sort your thoughts for a few moments until the situation calms down.
Looking around, it seems that noone else is pursuing you.
You jump off from your horse and walk over to the Knight of the Burg. He has stopped moving by now.
There is no way for you to bury him here, sadly.
You raise his helmet to confirm a suspicion.
Just as you thought, he was a human.
