"Sport Royal" is a short story by Anthony Hope, published in his collection Sport Royal and Other Stories in the late 19th century, not a novel set in Ruritania as suggested by some summaries. The titular story features Julius Jason as he becomes embroiled in a duel in Heidelberg due to his interaction with a countess, providing a blend of romance, sport, and social intrigue.
