"Where order has broken down, where cruelty and lawlessness rule, Lawbringers are justice. They go wherever they are needed, and they come prepared. Their armor has no equal, its construction a secret of their order. And they carry the most versatile weapon ever invented: the poleaxe. Pray that you do not need them. And when they arrive, pray that you have done no wrong."

I personally am in love with this quote. I think Holden Cross said it in the game. This quote alone, when I heard it, made me love the lawbringer from the beginning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Lord Leo became stable, several reports of viking attacks appeared. The Lion Legion was forced to spread their troops out even thinner to make sure that their people were safe. With this in mind, the Reaper Legion saw this as an opportunity.

(Y/N) was making his usual rounds around town with Leonardo. The only reason he was still alive was because Anna was too drunk to remember the kiss.

"Hey, (Y/N)?" Leonardo said in a worried tone.

"Yeah?" (Y/N) noticed.

"Do you ever feel like there's too much weight on your shoulders? Like there are too many responsibilities for you to handle at once?" He said staring at the ground.

"Hmm." (Y/N) could tell what Leonardo was thinking. "Well the only job I care about is keeping you and your father safe. The other things I do like patrols, training, battle, they all don't matter to me. But if it helps, I stress so heavily on my main goal that I do, sometimes, feel that way. I think your father is able to handle it because he trusts his people. He entrusts certain people with tasks which allows his mind to be at ease."

Leonardo didn't say anything for a while. "Yeah... I can see that."

"Don't stress too much over it, " (Y/N) said slapping Leonardo on the shoulder, "it runs in your bloodline. It'll come naturally."

The sound of several footsteps running cut their conversation short. They turned around and saw two guards approaching them.

After taking a moment to catch their breath, one spoke. "Lord Leo requests your immediate presence. He says that there has been an update on his attacker."

Leonardo and (Y/N) looked at each other and was escorted back to the keep. Upon arrival, Leopold escorted them into his quarters. Along the way, they saw Anna and Brock already waiting for them. Leopold closed the door behind them and made sure that it was only those five people in the room.

After checking his quarters for people, he began to speak in a low voice. "Okay you all, you four are the only people I can truly trust. Anna and her spies have heard the name Pegasus floating around and they have made a discovery." He gestured towards Anna. "Go ahead and tell them what you know."

She nodded. "We've discovered that Pegasus' real name is Louis. One of our spies became a double agent and while under his wing, she was tasked to smuggle, steal, and eventually knew him on a personal/romantic level. Long story short, she reported back to us and told us of an opportunity where he will be vulnerable." She pulled out a map of the kingdom and pointed to several locations, revealing his several resting places, where his influence generally spreads, and where we will begin our assault on him. "Here, in the lumber mill, is where he will be stationed in four days. Louis pays the owner of the mill to let him use it at night, using it as a place to sell opium, tobacco, and other stolen goods. There will be at least 20 guys there so we will have to either pack some heat or go quietly about this."

Leopold stepped in. "Though I would prefer to have them all executed on the spot, justice is telling me to bring them all into prison. All I am going to say is bring Louis back, dead or alive. How you wish to go about it is your business and none of mine." He turned and began to walk out. Everyone already knew what he meant by those words.
