Those last words there are directed more at the boy's parents than the boy himself. The two of them seem absolutely relieved that you haven't harmed their children, but there's a certain trepidation in their eyes that you cannot help but fine a little tasty. Their thoughts must be racing. To have raised a boy who would throw a stone at a dreadknight, or to allow their neighboring hamlet to influence him that much... what punishments do they think you mean to extract?

>Nothing. Absolutely nothing. They will have to live beneath the crushing weight of the mercy you demonstrate today for the rest of their lives.

>Their children will be enrolled in the new academy that will set up in Brightsprings. For the opportunities it will afford them, of course.
>The parents must drink of your blood and make a pact of loyalty with you as other 'suspect' citizen have.
>The father shall become a revenant, and you'll have your way with the mother until she's been thoroughly corrupted.
