It seems as if he's ready to bargain for his freedom."Gods be damned. I'm cornered. I got no choice, do I? All right, then. I'll tell you what I've heard. Captain Teach is the head of The Cloak, right? Everybody knows that. But nobody ever asks why the gods don't shut us down. We're the biggest criminal enterprise in the world, and we never have to deal with the authorities. Do you want to know why?"Claymore pauses, scanning each of your faces for a reaction."It's because we're endorsed by a god. He keeps us protected, and in exchange, we do his dirty work. When we get initiated into the guild, we swear an oath to Munsu himself. He's the real head of The Cloak. He's the one who ordered your king dead. Captain Teach is just a leader. The God of Blades is the one pulling the strings. I don't know why they killed Hood, and I don't know who actually did the job. All I know is this: you were the ones who got picked up for it. You were supposed to get arrested, and I was supposed to kill you all while you were in jail. That's all I know."He seems exhausted by this. His shoulders sag wearily."Please let me go. I've only got until morning. Once they find out I haven't done the job, I'm as good as dead."</blockquote>
