He is the feared Lord He, whose power dominates the court. He kills entire families at the slightest provocation, and no one dares come within ten feet of him.

In reality, the moment he gets home he throws himself into a maid’s arms, legs shaking, and cries like a dog: “Waaah, I was terrified today!”
