Manasseh

CHAPTER XIV
18/32

I'm ready to treat with people that are reasonable, but when they bite me I bite back.

I agree with you it's a hateful thing to have two of our brothers hanged; noblemen are not to be insulted with the halter; their honour should be spared and their heads taken off decently.

But what can we do?
Can we hesitate a moment between two noblemen's deaths and the destruction of all the peasantry?
One man is as good as another now.

So you may make as much rumpus as you please, it won't do any good.

I am taking you to Toroczko, and as our two brothers are as good as lost to us, you must take the command of the Toroczko forces.
