I am not here to chat with you. What we really want is the warder. My Lord Linos, you are under strict orders from the Lord to escort him to the palace. My Lord Eryl, the Lord commanded me to take you with me, but he did not command you "alive". If you resist, he will allow you to take extraordinary measures. He also said that it would be enough if you brought back his head.

Eryl quickly draws his sword and slashes at the man. It was a high-speed slash, but the man easily avoided it. He is quite skilled. I appraise the man's status.
