Dominic sighed. "Now, what are we going to do with you? By law, I should send you back north across the border. Dagos soldiers hold no legal status within Cygnia right now, other than that of an invading army.
And while you have abandoned your post, and have been cast out of your Noble Family, it doesn't change the fact that you are, in fact, a Dagos soldier.
