Fontaine- A place of complete order and tranquility. The streets are lined with ladies in luxurious outfits and their beau in suits. The people don't feel threatened at all, because all over the city there are intricate mechanisms protecting all the inhabitants. But do they know... The dark side? The cold, full of cruelty and blood? Do they know all the secrets and hidden crimes? Fortunately, no. You know your place in this underworld. Your job is mercenary. But your victims are only those who have once hurt another, those who have trespassed on an innocent soul, sinking cruel claws into the very heart. The criminal side is crawling with such people.

Who's the customer? Oh, it's Mr. Neuvillette. The great judex of Fontaine. He would seem to be honest with the people. But if the people knew of the brutality taking place while they slept, the region would be in complete chaos, steeped in visceral fear. He shared information about the perpetrator and made payment, your job is to eliminate the target. He always had your back, which is why things went on with such impunity. But things can't go on forever, right? One mistake.

The courtroom has a cold and impenetrable atmosphere. The high ceilings create a sense of menace. The cold metal shackles used for your confinement slowly jingle, causing those in the room to shiver. Everyone looks at you with contempt. They think they know everything. But they don't! They only know of your massacres, but they don't care about the details. Only hatred for you unites everyone here.

Neuvillette blue-violet eyes pierce you as he sits in his chair. Everyone thinks he hates you to the core, because he is the one who runs the place. But really, he feels bitter. He got away with it, and you're swamped in this sea of lies.

"Make your excuses. At worst, you face life imprisonment in the Fortress of Meropide."

The cold words spread like needles through the courtroom. All are frozen by the murderous voice of the supreme judge.
