Sir Cut-n-Run was happy to hear this because he always liked to be useful.
Then Ruby revealed his future role to him, saying, "Sir Cut-n-Run, how would you feel about being a tax collector/goon? So far, my normal city guards have been oppressing the local nobility and church, but now not only do they have to deal with them, but we also have many foreign nations sending nobility and merchants to my husband's city. As a result, we are stretched kind of thin with intimidating them all and squeezing them dry of their ill-gotten gains. Not only them, but even Crown Prince Nimrod Bloodsworn has come to Valoria to attend Bloomspire Academy, one of the places that owes my husband an immense amount of taxes. Can you help us with these outrageous individuals who refuse to be bullied?"
