Win

Rubbing your jaw you start to stand. Ivona appearing to have calmed down sets her footing and lowering her wooden sword to the low guard position. She takes a deep breath "I can tell this isn't a game to you. So your offer was sincere. As such I will give it my all. Be ready."

Your typical smirk crosses your face. "This is your chance to decide my fate, love. Don't squander it. I am playing to win." The low guard was always her favorite stance. Raising your sword above your head in a high guard stance you both gaze at each other ready to strike.

Stepping up you both start to charge. Bringing your sword down in a circular parry you knock Ivona's sword out of her hands and finish with a quick light knock to her head. Having practiced the maneuver a thousand times it was quick and fluid. "Boop" You say grinning devilishly. "There its settled. I win."

Ivona begins to tear up. "You big dummy. " You drop the sword and hug her. Squeezing you tightly Ivona bury's her face into your chest and cries softly. You let her remain there while she finishes venting. "Ivona, we will always be friends. Now and forever." You can tell your words finish calming her down as she steps away from you. "I'm sorry. It was already to late."

"Oh, yeah!" You perk up. "Its not to late. The coronation is still going. Lets hurry and go to it now!" You say with a devilish grin and start walking to the door.

That is when you hear her behind you. "Yet, Here we are again, you leaving me behind without any understanding." You never have a chance to prepare as you feel something strike you in the back of the head. The last thing you feel is Ivona's arms around your waist in a gentle squeeze as everything starts to go black.
