Let me guess, you're in a tizzy about how best to make use of the church's forces—or maybe you're just worried about how our forces will survive the winter.
linkFelixvolume_up
Well, knock it off. A good leader knows when to let their vassals do the worrying for them.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Is that why you left your uncle in charge of House Fraldarius?
linkFelixvolume_up
Yes—though I've been returning to the territory the moment any issues arise with his governance.
linkDimitrivolume_up
And your mother? Is she in good health? I imagine it's difficult to manage all the family squabbles on her own.
linkFelixvolume_up
Oh, she's fine—she's good at that sort of thing. I actually think she likes it.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I would suppose, for now, that she probably feels better when she's able to keep busy. You could stand to show her a touch more concern, though.
linkFelixvolume_up
I suggest you focus on your own issues for once instead of worrying about everyone else.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I'm not sure that's possible. Oh, but that does remind me, I hear the knights wanted to hold a joint training session.
linkFelixvolume_up
Ugh. Forget it. You'll never change.
linkFelixvolume_up
I'd tell you to stop brooding so much, but I'd be wasting my breath.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I cannot afford to lose this war, Felix. I must protect the Kingdom. I must avenge the fallen.
linkDimitrivolume_up
Each day, we draw ever closer to those who pulled the actual strings.
linkDimitrivolume_up
I've already punished any who knew of the plan and did nothing, as well as a number of middle-rank conspirators...
linkDimitrivolume_up
But it isn't enough. There are still those who must answer for this crime with their lives.
linkFelixvolume_up
You are a book with one chapter and no ending. What will you do when you actually have this revenge of yours?
linkDimitrivolume_up
I don't know. But if I can quell their grief—and their hate—it will be enough.
