It had been Tig's hope that Ellory would participate and she could legitimately duel and subsequently humiliate her. It also would reflect poorly on Ellory if they dueled and it miraculously resulted in a miscarriage, but that was probably what had kept her from signing up in the first place. What a coward. To make matters worse Tatiana was taking part and if Tig didn't do as well or better then the next time she had to see her sister-in-law would be hellish.
For now Tig had to duel - Mrs. Hill, was it? - she didn't recognize her and deduced she must be older than herself but also poorer so the experience probably didn't count for much. Rather than cast a shield charm which would be boring, Tig tried to conjure a large stone wall to take the brunt of whatever spell Mrs. Hill had chosen to hurl at her.
