Something occurred to me about the significance of the "Brangien challenges Vaynard" event. On the surface it's simply the story of the Princess challenging Vaynard and losing because Vaynard is a better fighter. But in other events Vaynard insults enemies hoping to anger them so they'll make a mistake.
During the duel, Vaynard says he will teach Brangien a lesson and a short time later insults her dead father and tells her she'll never live up to her father's name. She gets furious and charges him with a sword. Brangien is an archer in the game and Vaynard is a strong melee unit. She is defeated handily as Vaynard says "this is how you use a sword". If she had kept her cool and attacked using her bow skill, she might have won.
After the duel, Vaynard treats her respectfully and she is surprised. I think he was trying to teach her that there's more to being a successful king than fearless bravery. It takes self control, and strategy. Perhaps that was the lessen he mentioned earlier.
