tasks too important to entrust to anyone but family. The
responsible captains at the South Gate were always related to
Ghopal Singh, though they were officers in the City Battalions.
They were all men who dared not be disloyal because their pasts

Protectorate.
Also, they were men who were mentally disciplined enough to

themselves and their followers for this day. Though, originally,
they had expected the Protector herself to be entering their
killing zone.
