More to embarrass the Lady than to show her his love. Leon had no idea what may have driven Lady Adelaide to throw herself at the Queen. Was this all some charade to get closer to the powers to help him? Or was she playing him like some violin and she had never really planned to be with him? What he had heard from his little spy left him puzzled. Unfortunately they had been a lot more engaged in humping on each other, than to actually discuss tactics. Adelaide wasn’t dumb, she may have learned that the Queen had decided to stay on the throne. It may have changed the situation for her, ruining her own chances to get on the throne. So maybe she had decided to ally herself with the Queen and to give up on him? Or she wanted to find out about the weaknesses of the Queen, so that they could use it for their plans? Or she wanted to make him looking evil to the Queen, by telling her about his ambitions, just to keep him for herself? But if she would play such a mean game, then he would have to punish her tonight… nobody played him without paying some high price for it.<br/><br/>Whatever it was, that had made Lady Adelaide end up in the royal box, he would make her understand that he still regarded their ally as valid and her as his woman. Maybe the Queen would understand what a kind of mischieveous woman she had there with her, when she understood that Adelaide wasn’t shy to sell her loyalities to the one offering the most. And Leon had planned to make it very obvious to the Queen, that Adelaide had sided with him. Flying her colours was just one thing to show it to everybody.<br/><br/>Leon stood next to his horse, preparing for his own fight, when Sir Alexander walked by after his fight. Leon knew that Alexander probably was pissed of not being able to unhorse his opponent in the second round. The guy was far too ambitious and cocky too, as that it wouldn’t anger him. Although they were from the same shire, the two houses had some ambivalent disliking of each other, as long as they weren’t closing the lines on the battlefield to defend Eastshire. And with Leon and Alexander it was a permanent mocking. Maybe just because they both liked women and acted like two roosters on adjoining farms, trying to triumph over the other by fathering more hens and by parading around more proud than the other. In principle they both were very similar, two big windbags concentrating on the wrong things in life. Like challenging everybody into arguments. And just to show that off, Leon couldn’t help but mock his fellow knight.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">“Hey, Alexander. Maybe you should have challenged your opponent to a pissing contest, huh? It looks like you are training much more with your own lance as with the real thing. But oh, I forgot, that may be no good idea either. I heard some rumours from the girls in your shire that your lance is more like a toothpick. They all complained that they had to fake actually feeling this tiny thing entering them to make you happy. Don’t they call you ‘Babydick’ there?”</span></div>
