Once upon a time, there was a king who did not like his rival and wished he was rid of him. So he challenged the courtier to a duel. Despite being more experienced in combat, the King was left wounded and humiliated, while the rival was triumphant.

The following month, the courtier found himself being married to a random woman in Sweden. Meanwhile, the King developed some wicked scars.

There is no moral to this story other than how #CKII is a great video game.
