Women are not allowed to joust! I win by default!" The crowd went into an uproar, and Sir Harvard looked up at the king. The king nodded and waved his hand, and two guards came out and grabbed Lilly. Richard, who was hiding in the crowd, removed his hood and hopped into the arena, and began walking towards Lilly and the guards. Sir Harvard spotted him, and stormed towards him.<br/>"You coward!"

Richard turned to his father.<br/>"You were right, father. This was quite the learning experience." Richard turned back to the guards. "You two are dismissed." The guards stepped to the side, and Richard guided Lilly and his horse back towards the stables, the crowd once again in an uproar.
