Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Who watches over the watchmen?
Latin saying

 

 

"Now you two, you mean to tell me that everything happened exactly the same way?"

"Yes, captain! Everything happened exactly the same way. Captain de Fawkes became extremely angry when I delivered Lady Laura's message. He shouted around and trashed the guardroom. It got worse when the captain did not immediately know which room the lady was in. Several servants were knocked to the ground by him on the way, Captain Klien!"

"Then it is true that de Fawkes broke down the door and attacked Lady Laura, Private Holt?"

"Yes, Captain. Captain de Fawkes rushed into the room and as soon as he caught sight of Lady Laura he attacked her. Well, he tried to at least. The lady took him down faster than anyone in the palace guard I know. Forgive me for the comparison, Captain."

"And she broke his knee and then his arm when he was down, really? That sounds like a fairy tale to me, Private Holt!"

"With your permission, Captain. Not like a fairy tale but more like a nightmare story. I saw with my own eyes how Lady Laura incapacitated the captain with just a few moves. Sir Captain knows Captain de Fawkes abilities himself. Captain de Fawkes is really not someone who is easy to bring down, Captain."

"And yet it took a woman no more than 10 seconds. A disgrace!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"What about that weird mist she sprayed in de Fawkes' face? What can you tell me about it? Go on, I don't want to have to pull it all out of your noses!"

"I don't know, captain. We've never seen anything like it. To get near it alone was awful."

 

A little later in the guards' quarters.

 

"De Fawkes wet himself? Really, you're not kidding us, are you? Really, Holt? Gross, what a loser."

"I heard that Lady Laura was a princess and that the court wizard messed up and kidnapped her."

"Hahaha, the douchebag again. Always messing up his spells."

"Hoh, 'incess I would 'ave liked to 'ave laid. 'ifferent than just the 'aids."

"Um, so if I were you, I'd be really careful with Lady Laura. If you're lucky, she'll just beat you up and turn you into a blubbering wreck. If the King hadn't intervened, she'd have castrated de Fawkes on the spot."

"What Holt says is true, so I don't care whether you believe us or not but there's no way I'm going to take anything out on Lady Laura. I'm hanging on by my balls."
