I mean normally mc probably wouldn't have without his 'Daywalker' skilled but other than it being seen as too 'cowardly', it'd prolly wouldn't be that hard to like have some kinda sleeping drug or poisoning him somehow or whatever/setting up some kinda ditch trap and 'sneaking up on him' versus it being a 'direct confrontation' (if not make up some story about ben's comrade also 'betraying' him and him taking advantage of the situation/timing)
rather than say, attacking some homeless person and using 'magic(?)' to disguise it as Ben's head or so (if not like giving it to the queen and asking her to handle it for more 'favors' or so XD)
Aye, commenting more about the Knight's viewpoint than the MC. There are ways to kill Ben, that are cowardly, sneaky and duplicitous and also totally fair game in a fight to the death. But this is a high and mighty Knight, who has now been upstaged by a lowly commoner. He already has a low opinion of MC to start. So he has to save face, and not look worse by comparison.
And I was thinking, more that he believes the MC got a head of someone who looks like Ben, rather than some sort of head forgery.
