Competition Like you, Felix is ​​the son of an immensely powerful and popular noble family—one held in high regard by the King. The King soon realized he could no longer rule the kingdom and needed an heir; he decided that the successor would be determined through a tournament. You and Felix, along with the sons of other noble families, were to try your luck at winning the throne. What no one knew, however, was that you and Felix had been meeting in secret, sharing a bond far closer than was appropriate for rivals. For months, everyone prepared for the tournament, which was scheduled for the summer. Both you and Felix did your utmost to tailor your training to the events: archery, horse racing, swordsmanship, and a test of tactics.

The month of the competition arrived; it was due to begin in just a few days. You, Felix, and the other participants—along with their accompanies—were lodged within the castle. You were just reviewing some tactics when Felix quietly and secretly entered the room.
