Osirus had his moral down for three days now, wondering if he should continue his work. The public execution wasn't what he was thinking when he heard that he would be keeping the peace in the city. He headed to the tavern where he took a seat and ordered a drink. He wasn't the type to drink, but he needed it.

"Wat ar' ya doin'?" he turned and saw Lifain walking to him.

"None of your business…" replied Osirus.

"Ye shouldn't be dat down, mate" said Lifain as she sat at his table.

"Why are you here?" asked Osirus "Did the samurai ask you to keep an eye on me?"

"Da hell ye're talkin' 'bout" replied Lifain "Ye think dat I'm watchin' ya?"

"Then why are you here?" asked Osirus as he narrowed his eyes.

"Just takin' a drink before goin' to te lads" answered Lifain.

"What?" asked Osirus with confusion.

Lifain drunk her cup and said "Come 'n see, mate"

After drinking his cup, Osirus got up and followed Lifain.

"Do you think that she hates me?" he asked.

"Wat 're ya talkin' 'bout?"

"When Kumiko asked me to do the execution" added Osirus.

"Ye're far from it, mate" answered Lifain.

*Flashback*

"Are you sure that you want him to do the execution?" asked Vali.

"He needs to know that his… optimistic view can bring harm to those who are close to him" answered Kumiko, as Lifain was sitting behind her "And as a punishment"

"Wouldn't he leave the job, or even the city?" asked Vali.

"He thinks that he's a pawn for me, that he's here just because I wanted him in this city for that" sighed Kumiko "But even if he refused the job, I would have invited him here. I don't like someone thinking that he's just a pawn, I want us to be a big family"

"Should I go talk with him?"

Kumiko shook her head and said "I'll give him time, then I'll ask him if he would like to leave the job to the Viking. I wanted to execute them myself, but after hearing him. I know that if, one day, something happens to his family, he would blame himself. I don't want him to be broken like that"

"I feel like he won't understand that" sighed Vali "I fear that he may… try a coup d'état if you don't talk to him"

"I don't want to impose myself on him. Even if I'm a Daimyo, I shouldn't abuse of my authority and force him to come" explained Kumiko "I'm sure that… he will come eventually"

"To claim your head? Like hell I'll let him" stated Vali.

"If he tries, I will kill him first" replied Kumiko "If it wasn't for both you and Hiromi, I would have accepted, but I have a family now, and I should be there for my family"

*Flashback end*

Osirus was shocked. He didn't know that Kumiko was thinking of him that way.

"We're 'ere" said Lifain as she stopped in front of an alley where there was many children.

"It's the musician lady!" said one of them as they ran to them.

"How're you doing, lads" asked Lifain.

"Who are they?" asked Osirus.

"they're lads who 'ere caught stealing" answered Lifain "Kumiko wanted 'em t' be punished by their parents, but I suggested somethin'"

One of the kids gave her a violin.

"Ye ready lads?" asked Lifain with a grin.

Two began to dance in a way Osirus never saw.

"What's this?" asked Osirus.

"Dis is te riverdance" answered Lifain "'n Irish dance"

"It's the mister who killed the bad guys!" pointed a little girl.

"I'm not-"

"He's so strong" said a boy.

"He's the city's hero" said another girl.

"Ya see now" said Lifain.

"I… I don't understand"

"If they stayed alive, they may have tried to hurt the others" said Shirone as she walked to him "But you don't have worry about next time, Kumiko-nee-sama will execute any new prisoner who broke a law that threaten this city's balance" she then walked away to a group of stone soldiers.

Osirus stayed to here Lifain play her song, he was no expert on music but he thought that she was good at it.

"Hey mister!" a couple of the children ran up to him.

"Can I help you guys?"

"We want to see your armor again!"

"Yeah!"

Lifain watched in amusement.

Osirus would hate to disappoint, so he summoned his armor.

The children looked at the knight from every angle.

Once the children were satisfied, he began to walk back to the tavern.

When he entered he saw something that made him both sigh and smile at the same time.

Chevalir was sitting at a table in the corner, he got there just in time to stop her from drinking her first one.

"Someone is not following her oath"

She froze and slowly turned to see him standing there.

"I-Im sorry, I couldn't help it"

He sighed again, when they found out she was pregnant he made her swear an oath not to drink because it could harm the child.

He took the mug from her hand and placed it on the table.

He then grabbed her and put her over his shoulder.

"H-hey! Baka! Put me down!"

The patrons of the tavern laughed at the display, they were normal customers and known by everybody.

He walked out of the tavern with Chevalir and began to walk home.

"Put me down!"

"No, this is your punishment for breaking your oath"

"Mou"

She stopped squirming and sighed in defeat.

They got home and Osirus threw her onto the couch.

"Where have you two been?" His old master asked from her seat on the chair by the couch.

"I found her in the tavern with a mug of alcohol"

"Oh dear, she's lucky you found her and not Oathbound"

"I trust you can take care of her until I come back?"

"Mou! I'm not a child!"

Osirus hugged her and leaned into her ear.

"If you can keep yourself away from any alcohol until I come home, I will buy you your favorite dessert"

Ever since they came to the city, Chevalir had been going to the same place to buy a certain kind of pastry that she loves more than anything.

"Grrr, fine"

He was hugged from behind.

"Mou~ what about me?~" his old master purred.

"Do you need to be bribed to behave?"

"That depends, what will you give me?"

He thought of something, this was an idea that Dragarth put into his head.

If he could put enough essence into his clones, they could become more life-like.

It would enable them to do things that would sate any 'desires' that his old master could want.

He whispered into her ear, her face dusted pink and she had a look of pure lust in her eyes.

"I see~" she let him go and began to shiver at the many 'possibilities' that she would have access to.

He escaped while he could, there was something he needed to take care of.

He walked into the prison and saw Evera at her desk, they locked eyes and Evera stiffened.

She had heard about what happened with the execution and Osirus's outlook.

When she was told he may quit his job, she was very upset.

"Hey, can you do me a favor?" he asked.

"S-sure, what is it?"

"Next time you see the samurai, tell her she doesn't have to worry about me any longer"

Evera slumped a bit, he really was going to leave.

"I have thought it over and I have come to a final decision"

Evera knew that running this place by herself will be difficult.

"Next time you see her, tell her she is stuck with me"

Evera froze. "W-what?"

"The day that I leave this city, will be the day that I die"

He walked up to her desk and his helmet shattered, she saw his smirking face.

"And If I am to die, I die standing"
