Laine Imperial Capital, upon the vast square of the Royal Palace, a white-haired old man stood in front of the palace gates.
He was William Garrison, known as the strongest shield of the Empire.
William Garrison had not partaken in food or drink for three days and nights; he was waiting for the Emperor of Laine's decree of guilt. If the emperor refused to acknowledge his mistakes, he would continue to stand there until he died.
In the battle of the Impure Chant, William Garrison, the centenarian, led the Paladin troops repeatedly to fend off the Gith Yankee's attacks.
It was also William Garrison's struggle that allowed the Emperor of Laine to safely return to Flow Flame City.
