A Plea for Leniency

Berengar became aware of the disturbance that happened within his own halls not long after the incident took place. He was outraged, beyond measure. He had invited Wolfgang and his family into his own home, and yet the man not only insulted him, but struck his child. Berengar was left with no option. He would execute the man for his offense.

However, something shocking happened. Before he could even leave his office, the victim of the assault, as well as the offender's wife, approached him. Berengar sat back in his chair, while Ava sat across from his desk with Hans in her lap. The Kaiser was aware that his son had a certain soft spot for his aunt, and thus he did not question it. Instead, he repeated what the woman had said to him in disbelief.

"You want me to spare your husband? Are you out of your God damn mind?"
