Reinhard van Astrea

> "I understand your rue. I feel the same thing. But, that does not mean you may use those feelings to lash out at those around you. Your actions, and the outcome of your pledge, will bring chaos to the world. —I am unable to ever allow that. Yes, because it is unjust. —I am a model of what is just. Sword to rectify error. Consequently, here I shall need to slay you, Great Spirit."
