Our hearts bleed for you, Batang, they do. Being as aged and wise as you
are, you must really miss those 'old' times.

My suggestion would be that if you don't like being forced to attack
guards then don't interrupt a thief while he is conducting his business
by attacking him. An even better deterrent against such a forced attack
would be not to sit in your city after attacking said thief.

The lesson has been taught, but have you learned? Time will tell I'm
sure.
