But he didn't put me to death right away.Instead, I was sentenced...
...to gladiatorial combat.
They enjoy making prisoners who've been reduced to the status of "offenders", which is even lower than commoners, fight one another on frontier worlds. It's a spectacle, so to speak.Amusement for all the nobles with bad taste.But if I keep winning, I can receive a pardon or something...Thus, the weapon...Yes.And......one other thing...Obviously, it would not matter if I put you to death right away for injuring me. However......here is a final bit of compassion from your "father".I will let your family live, so long as you keep winning the gladiatorial sentence.
