Their Majesties welcomed all those who attended and bade them enjoy the day-
Their Majesties then received the procession of Rapier Combatants who wished to Fence for the honor of being considered Her Majesty’s champion- each received a rose from Her hand.
Court was then suspended.

…Upon the conclusion of Her Majesty’s Rapier Championship Tourney:

Her Majesty called before Her Her Order of the White Scarf, and spoke of Her love of the artform- She complimented all who took the field but wished to speak of one in general- and thus bade Lady Lucia Augur to attend Her. Upon asking Don Jehan LeBlanc to release Lady Lucia from her cadet commitment, Queen Kallista created her a member of the Order of the White Scarf – Dona Lucia recieved multiple white scarves and a rapier belt and hanger representing her lineage.
