Until he attacked, he was thought a family friend as well as my father's vassal. He betrayed us out of jealousy for our status and position, hoping to usurp it.

When I broke into his home, it was with three companions. We came in daylight instead of attacking while everyone was abed as he did. The four of us killed everyone in that house who took arms against us, but we did not harm those who were innocent. His servants did not harm my family. They did not deserve to suffer my retribution.
