Duel of Open Meadows
The Duel of Open Meadows was a very fascinating thing. Two noble parties going to kill one another, that's normal, but two noble parties going to kill one another but by the end a proposal. That's curious. I can't help but wonder while watching the fight, an hour or two of dueling, what could have brought this on. Later on I asked Duke Galin of House Horchester what brought upon this battle. He paused and then said in a quiet manner, "Wine." By that he had the ring on his husbands hand and walked into the Ireling House. This was a very heart-felt thing in the Palace, and I hope my message will keep people from hiding their true selves.
The Conflict
Deployment
There were two dukes that walked out of their cots and stood side by side, back to back. They were given two swords, one for each duke, to battle one another was what they had intended and battle they will.
Battlefield
Soft, green grass on the edge of the Helio district in The Solar Palace, very warm that day. The midday air and the cool shade of the trees covering the field. This was Duke Everit Ireling's property called Open Meadows. The meadow was a large garden filled with flowers. Dandelions, Lillies of all sorts, Roses, and Horfrost flowers were strangely there as well. The colors of blue, green, and slight purples filled their eyes as they walked into the meadow.
Conditions
The Duke Garlin Horchester had spilled wine on Duke Everit's newly imported table cloth on a dinner date.
How dare you get my 1962 Calamity meritage, you are no duke if you're this clumsy? But, you have failed at your duties and now I must challenge you love. I challenge you to a duel, to the death.
The Engagement
They both came towards the meadows with swords in hand, mentally preparing to battle one another. The two lovers had not been interested in wanting a conflict, but one of the maids on her evening stroll heard what Duke Ireling had said and had spread it to all of the newspapers. So by the next day's evening, the lovers were followed by 30-40 people there to see who will win.
Am I going to kill the love of my life because he spilled my wine. I didn't mean it, it was just a joke. This is wrong now that everyone gathered to see. I can't do this but I must to keep my place in the higher society. I'm sorry Garlin, my love, but I must have my keep in this city.
This is insane, my own love, is going to kill me. This is not how I wanted to propose to him, I can't begin to imagine what he is even thinking right now. This will not be my last day. If he wants to give them a show I'll give them a show, my proposal will be in this battle or else I die. My love please have faith in me, that I'm not to late.
