Volume 25, Midstream Strikes the Water, Chapter 6: Entanglement

"Image? Reputation? Lecler, I can't concern myself with those, I only know that you are the leader of those knights who go around causing trouble, these ugly fellows are causing serious disturbances to the public order of Cyprus City, and as the Knight Leader, you bear an inescapable responsibility. I demand that you take responsibility immediately and make those fellows stay quietly at home, they are not allowed to go out, get drunk, and cause trouble!"

Shatima firmly planted her Dragon Spear into the ground, the heavy spear sinking deep into the earth. The sandy stone floor of Lecler's entryway was rudely penetrated, embedding itself into the muddy ground below, causing Lecler much heartache yet leaving him helpless. Trying to reason with this woman was simply inviting trouble.
