❝ If thou had met my warriors... Thou wouldst understand.
Dignity comes not into it. They are a madness unto themselves.
It is easier this way; rest assured. ❞

ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤHe feels Radagon's eyes upon him, the question heavy in the air...
❝ Leaving a marker for my tarnished. They seem to find such messages useful. ❞

ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ❝ Hurt we were, both of us... A vow and oath I swore.

ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤ❝ I am aware of thy loss, Majesty. I would not think to deny thee of thy grief in it; I would ask thee not to speak ill of my Queen, though.
Not to me. ❞
