Synopsis

A quiet demonstration of discontent over taxation among the common folk erupted into violence when a member of the Eagle's guard hurled a stone through the window of the magistrate's office. Galindo seized upon this incident as justification for imposing harsh measures upon the peasantry, a decision that stirred unease in Don Alejandro. The other landowners advocated for the formation of vigilante groups to punish the peasants, but Alejandro championed a more reasoned approach.
