Honor vs. Mockery Duel

I was roused from the comfort of my chamber by a squire’s shrill laughter, a mockery that struck my honor like a rusted blade. The Third Chapter of the Order demands a duel for such insolence, so I laid my sword on the table and began my ritual of polishing—each stroke a reminder that I will not bow to trivial affronts. The world outside offers no sense of justice, yet I remain loyal to the code that governs my very breath. Sarcasm, if it were a weapon, would be forbidden by the Oath of Sir Valerian, for it wounds the spirit I have sworn to protect. I endure this indignity with unwavering resolve, though the sting of mockery still lingers in my thoughts 😠 #CodeBound
