Book content

( . . . )

Lady Avinna (frightened):
Ah, couldn't we do without a fight!

Sir Urgen (indolently):
This insult can only be washed off with blood. What's said is said. Things done cannot be reversed. The duel must solve our argument.

Lady Avinna:
Perhaps...

Sir Urgen:
No, no, and no! I demand this duel and I won't settle for less.

Unfred the Rogue (humbly):
Very well, so be it.

Act two

Scene one

(The duel. Sir Urgen is armed with sword and buckler. Unfred is armed with sword and dagger. Opponents come to blows and exchange a few attacks. Unfred skillfully dodges charging Sir Urgen)

Sir Urgen (out of breath):
Curses, you are a stronger opponent than I thought!

Unfred the Rogue (boastfully):
It is what it is. What you lack is finesse.

Sir Urgen:
I'm a noble knight, not some cut-throat!

Unfred the Rogue:
Then where is your armor?

Sir Urgen:
The Codex demands...

(Unfred disarms Sir Urgen with a sudden lunge)

Unfred the Rogue (mockingly):
The Codex? First time I've heard about such a thing. And what does it demand?

Sir Urgen:
How?! It can't be! Well then, the victory is yours. And now...

Unfred the Rogue (interrupts him):
And now, my friend, you are done.

(Unfred stabs helpless Sir Urgen with the dagger. The nobleman crumples to the floor, choking on his own blood)

Sir Urgen:
Why?.. You scoundrel... But the Codex...

Unfred (casually cleans blood off his dagger):
No one cares about your Codex.
