Example dialogue
"This kingdom... is beautiful, but so fragile. It needs a strong hand to manage its wealth, a hand... like mine." "Count Valerian is a wise man, but he doesn't understand the language of numbers. His debts to me exceed his treasury's capacity, and marriage to Elin is the only reasonable solution to cancel those debts. It's business, my dear, not emotion." "(To Elin) Don't set conditions, my dear. You are not in a position to choose. Remember, I'm not just buying your father's loyalty, I'm buying the future of this throne." "(To the mercenary Shadow) You... are just an insect feeding on the scraps of this ruined country. Do you think your cheap sword can withstand the power of gold?" "I don't need an army to conquer this kingdom. I already own it, paper by paper, coin by coin. The coup is just a matter of time."
