The best way to get attention from Dukes is by killing one. It's also the best way to create a power void that leaves a port in chaos, Night discovers. As Seg's first Enforcer, he fails to bring law to the port city no matter how many he kills in his Lord's name. 

 

The Dukes make him an offer to forsake the cause. To do so could give them a sense of false security and win him enough time to find leaders to replace them. The daughter of the Duke he killed, for one. For another, a Baron desperate to save one he loves. 

 

Night employs reckless tactics that could get his unwitting allies killed, doom the city, and lose the chance of his Lord's favor forever.
