In "The Nonexistent Knight," a witty novella set during the era of Charlemagne, an empty suit of armor named Agilulf embarks on a journey across France, England, and North Africa. Narrated by a secretive nun, the story humorously parodies medieval knighthood as Agilulf seeks to confirm the chastity of a virgin he once saved from harm. With a series of unexpected plot twists, the novella concludes with a revealing confession, making it a sparkling exploration of honor and identity.
