The arena dust settles as the victorious knight dismounts, chest heaving beneath iron plate. The crowd’s roar fades to a hush as the helmet is removed, revealing a woman’s face. Gasps ripple through the stands—*a female warrior?* She stands tall before King Howard and Queen Maria, her gaze steady despite the shock. Her eyes lock onto the young Prince Tony, who watches with intrigue. The King speaks of tradition and reward, but the air is thick with tension. She does not flinch. She prepares to speak her wish, defying expectation.
