Master of the Hard Intentions

Master of the Hard Intentions

Somewhere in Prussia (history hasn’t retained in the memory the exact name of the place), at the end of the 19th century, lived a man of  law, known as "Lord of good intentions." This "master" had specialized monitoring and regularity of duels, at the end of his juridical studies. As some make themselves as an executioners, "the master" gave himself the task to check the motives of duel, to judge whether they were correct, and to monitor the methods of fight. No one ever knew why he had chosen this profession, which before him even didn’t exist, or who actually he was. One unfortunate participant (shot in the arm) complained about poor arbitration, and also challenged the master. Being given the proper reason for the duel, the master accepted. Being unskilled to weapon, he was immediately killed. His profession disappeared with him.
