"Even so, isn't that a bit annoying?"
Noble manners are annoying. Part of why they're there is just to be difficult and distinguish them from commoners.

Claudia's a wee bit aggressive.

Trying to rule with fear is a bad idea.

Even managed to scare the Reaper herself. Good thing they have at least one moral person among them.

She reminds me of the lady in the pharmacy manga.

That commander looks like he's the pinnacle of competence and morality.

"Do you think we can safely assume he's our enemy?"
We can safely assume he's soon dead.

Olivia has a mother-figure. How lovely.

Glad Olivia got a chance to instill fear with her sword skills after all.

I figured he was scum by design. Being a traitor was interesting, for all of his 1 minute gloating. Thank goodness he's an evil man, while Olivia is a good woman. They fit the words of the Maestro Terry Pratchett so well,

"If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."

Shame they didn't gather the provisional army there to watch the scene as well ...
Would have splattered 2 birds with 1 head chop.

Discworld books are full of great quotes. nice to see that showing up and it does fit very well to that evil idiot.

Sure he is an evil noble and he OUGHT to have heard how DANGEROUS Oliva is. she got a dark nickname to boot. but it doesnt make him slightly nervous?
he trusted that they would FEAR him instead? Hah what a joke.
