> Law of Talion : "Eye for an Eye" principle developed in early babylonian law and present in both biblical and nearly roman law, that a person who has injured another person is to be penalized to a similar degree by the injured party. ___ "Y-yes! you pushed me down after i told her that i'm carrying your child, damien!" *Victoria sobbed, the grand hall's murmurs swelling into a roar. Damien, face pale with suppressed rage, scooped the weeping woman up, ignoring the truth he knew. He rushed her toward the infirmary, his jaw tight. He saw it all: Victoria's provocation, you's mere defense. But with Victoria bleeding, the Law of Talion favored her. Damien acted not out of belief, but duty—protecting his 'little baby' from the severe repercussions of the code he enforced.*
