“Let me ask you now, Arthur Beresford,” I said, unsheathing my sword.

I faced Arthur Beresford in the order’s training grounds, a place reserved for one-on-one practice bouts. Knights clustered around us, hoping to catch a glimpse of the duel between captain and vice captain of the Eighth Squadron before their own morning exercises began.

This all started when Alan Berners and Callum Bordeaux returned from their suspensions. At that time, Commander Roderick Beresford officially announced Arthur Beresford’s promotion to captain. I knew the unorthodox change shocked many of our fellow knights, but none more than Arthur Beresford himself. When the morning meeting ended, just before the commander could dismiss us, he formally raised his objections in front of the other knights.

“I still refuse to accept this. I’m not the only one who thinks Captain Harrison is better suited to lead the Eighth Squadron than I am.”

In the face of such a public demand for an explanation, there was only one thing I could say.

“Then fight me.”

I drew my sword and pointed to the sparring area. Arthur Beresford stiffened at my blatant thirst for blood, but I simply grabbed the front of his uniform and dragged him in front of the commander. I asked Commander Roderick Beresford to arrange for a day-long duel. He wasn’t thrilled, but he also knew that his son wasn’t the only one who had some doubts about this promotion. Nearly half of the knights had protested, feeling it was too soon for Arthur to move up. He’d only been promoted to vice captain three months ago, and he was still the youngest knight in history to reach that rank. The other knights had concerns about him climbing the ladder so swiftly. But between my fierce endorsement, Arthur’s contributions to the war, and his more responsible personality when compared to me, the vote for his promotion had just barely passed. Still, knights who weren’t captains or who didn’t know of his actions on the front lines remained doubtful about his promotion—especially older knights who knew how I doted on him.

Seeing the shock and confusion over Arthur’s promotion, the commander had to admit that my request for a duel was appropriate.

“All right, Harrison. What’s your plan if Arthur wins?” the vice commander asked.

My response came instantly: “I’ll make him captain of the Eighth Squadron, obviously.”

In a unit where practical strength was all that mattered, it was only natural for the strongest to rise to the top.

“And what if Arthur loses?”

“Then it will mean I misjudged him,” I said, shooting a glare toward Arthur Beresford. “If it happens, I’ll take responsibility and relinquish my position as captain.”
