Rogal Dorn: The Savior is at risk of rebellion, I

Rogal Dorn: If The Savior risks rebellion, then I'm the most loyal son!

The guard saw that the big man in front of him did not react, so he slammed the butt of his gun forward, ramming it into Dorn's lower back.

His voice was loud, almost a shout. "Sub-human, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?!"
