"T…treason? Why would I be charged with treason? I'm only a poor man with this one carriage to feed my family. How can I be charged with treason? Please, beg the captain. He can't do this. Please…" The coachman grabbed the hands of the soldier who first spoke to him, hoping he could plead with the captain's conscience. Unknown to him, whatever the captain said was law, and the other soldiers wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
The soldier shook his hands away, making it clear that he wasn't willing to interfere. The captain wasn't someone he could just 'talk to' after all.
"B…but this has always been the law. No one has ever been charged with treason for driving couples to the love fest. Why am I being singled out today?" When the coachman said this, the captain who was almost at the carriage to check on the strangers couldn't hold in his anger anymore.
