Part 5/7:
During the tournament’s progress, William’s noble spirit is highlighted through acts of mercy, which both impress and confuse the spectators. Adhemar's sneering demeanor contrasts sharply with William's humility, further solidifying the burgeoning rivalry between the two. Jocelyn, drawn to William's authenticity, begins to differentiate between genuine respect and Adhemar’s showboating.
An unexpected ultimatum from Jocelyn, insisting that William lose to prove his love, leads to existential turmoil for him. Choosing to forsake victory for love almost costs him everything, yet through sheer determination, love triumphs. Jocelyn’s belief in him rekindles William's fighting spirit as he resolves to win the tournament—and her heart.
