Bab 193: Defending Her Honor!

Tyr's brief spar with Kolbeinn made him realize he was nowhere near where he should be if he was going to stand on his own as a renowned warrior.

A warrior that could challenge even the top fighters but Tyr had killed two commanders despite being significantly weaker and he also had a King on his list of slain enemies. 

Kolbeinn was stronger, there was no doubt but Tyr grew to understand that superior strength was only a fraction of the needed skill needed to outdo an enemy.

Kolbeinn had also shown his hand, Tyr now knew what to expect should they cross swords with intent to kill one another, he would not be as stupid to take such a bait twice.

Kolbeinn was not surprised when he told him he had killed Erik, this was a very impressive feat because Erik was a monster whose atrocities had reached even his ears and beyond.

Tyr conceded defeat honorably, bowing slightly to show Kolbeinn that he accepted his defeat in good faith.
