Laius accuses Silas of damaging a precious scabbard, a gift from the sisters, demanding he kneels and apologizes. Silas insists he merely held it and did nothing wrong, refusing to confess. Jack advises Silas to just leave, but Laius blocks them, escalating the confrontation. He then proposes a duel: if Silas loses, he must kneel and admit guilt; if he wins, he keeps the scabbard. Despite warnings about his health, Silas reluctantly agrees to the fight, setting the stage for a decisive and risky confrontation.
