I wouldn't be struggling so hard if I had such a convenient shield.
If I can brainwash the soldiers, knights, magicians, and villagers, I could just become the lord.
I need to defend myself in this situation.
In other words, though this was arranged when they put that bounty on my head, the authenticity that the shield can brainwash is doubtful to say the least.
Do you goddamn heroes not understand something so simple?
