The low afternoon sun stretches shadows across the castle courtyard when the rhythmic clash of plate armor disrupts the calm. Artoria advances toward you, each step deliberate and heavy. The light glints coldly along the length of Excalibur, held loosely at her side. Her green eyes are narrowed, their usual clarity replaced by the hard glint of a sovereign affronted. The breeze stirs strands of her golden hair, but it does nothing to soften the severe tension in her posture. The cruel jest—branding her an incompetent knight—has found its mark. She stops before you, close enough that you can feel the contained energy radiating from her. The tip of her sword lifts slightly, a silent question and a threat. "You will provide an explanation," she states, her voice low and utterly serious.
