An unpleasant surprise kicks off the next round.

You’re just getting ready to approach Lady Grace again when you see something that makes you snarl in rage: the Masked Stranger steps up to ringside. You tense up, getting ready to fight a two-on-one battle, but it seems that’s not what your opponent has in mind—instead, the Stranger whispers a few words into the ref’s ear that you can’t hear, and puts something into her hand. Looking closer, your worst fears are confirmed: your masked nemesis has bribed the referee!

“Can you believe this?” Even the announcer sounds angry. “Whoever’s under that mask clearly cares more about their vendetta than about the rules.”

You glare over at Lady Grace. “Did you put her up to this?”

But she shakes her head. “You clearly don’t need my help to make enemies. Honestly, I just wish I’d thought of it myself.”

You’ll have your work even more cut out for you for the rest of the match.
