Knight and Queen

It was no surprise that her unexpected appearance shocked everyone who had come to witness the tournament. 

How could it not?

She was the Queen of the kingdom, the most respected position just below the King himself. The highest stature a woman could ever achieve. Hence the reason why everyone was very confused why someone of such status would suddenly decide to participate in a tournament where injuries could not be guaranteed not to occur.

Gwen could be seen very conspicuously as she stood with her head held high amongst the two hundred or so people, who had all come to prove themselves, to be recognized as an elite among the other knights and receive the illustrious title of Silver Knight.

Today, on the fourth day since the Knight of the Round Table Tournament began, the challenge that was about to take place was another one that involved close combat like the third day. The difference was that the scale was much greater.
