A frustrated teenage Valda desperately wants to become a knight, but the king vowed to her mother that Valda would never be allowed to become a warrior like herself. But, Valda is working as a squire to a boorish young knight when he collapses of a sickness. After ensuring he'll be all right, Valda takes his place in a tournament (in full armor, hiding her identity). When she wins her battle, she claims the right to knighthood, and the king cannot refuse. Later, we find out that it was all a plan. Malagigi (the king's wizard) and the young knight engineered the whole thing.
