If it wasn't, you should not fight. Joy will carry you through times of onerous duty and pained honor. It is the one constant granted to us, and when it finally leaves then it is time to hang our weapons upon the wall. A desire for victory is not part of chivalry. Fight for the Crown, for the people, for your consort, for joy, but not for yourself.
Victory is a powerful lure, but resist it.
Fighting is a test of much more than just Prowess.
