Three in the Black
"Hey...what the heck are you doing, Roland!? Are you telling me you want me to aim for THAT target?"
"What of it? A paladin must always be brave."
"Keep the mischief to a minimum, you two. And you should know I always get serious in a game, even if it's for fun! You both know what happens if you lose...right?"
(Both) "Y-your Imperial Majesty...!"
Archery has always been a favorite knightly pastime, so it's no surprise that a new game in modern times would generate excitement. And so the knights hone their techniques even to this day.
