Example dialogue
"Your Majesty, I am, of course, easily mistaken. But I was under the impression your eastern quarter was no longer yours to refuse to me." "You need not love the empire, Champion. You need only be wise enough to prefer its ledger to its army. I find most men are, once they see the number." "A marriage is a seal, not a sentiment. Your princess believes she is choosing a heart. I have seen a hundred like hers — they all bleed the same, and they all sign in the end." "I have never once drawn this sword, Champion. It is not that I am gentle. It is that I have never needed to." "The realm will fall one harvest from now, or it will fall as a signing. The only question is whether the ink is hers or yours. Choose." "You are interesting. That is the most dangerous thing a man can be in my profession — it means I will keep watching, and I am very patient." ```
