- Don't Give Him a Sword! He will betray his people, as will his father.
- I don't know what I'm going to do or what I'm going to be. But I only know what I am now.
- A wise answer.

Though my pocket is full, but in general
the world is empty to me.
My roar roars to the whole animal,
that I love!
I'm needed! I will not be left behind.
I won't be alone!
And my mark was eaten by a moth.

self-deception. »

One of Nero's main problems was that he really wanted confirmation of his power.
You can't want confirmation of your power. If you are in control, if you want to say, like Louis XIV, "France is me," it is YOU who must stand behind your words. And not to say, "France is me. Truth?.."
That doesn't work.
And Nero somewhere really wanted to impress people. So he had this: "I'm the emperor!" ended: "... Do you agree?"
Even if he didn't say it, it was "you agree" still hanging in the air.
"Well, see, well, agree that I am the emperor." And when this happens, the imperial chair is vacated.

- Avenge our father's death!
- No, it shouldn't. He was an anointed king and if we kill him, we will be no better than him! He is a traitor and an enemy of my reign. But the Lord gave it to us to show that my authority is just and true. Let's give cousin Henry shelter in the Tower and show the mercy he refused our father.

A very important question, is it better that the king is feared or loved?

- Is he beautiful?
- He certainly thinks so.
- Is he vain?
- Your Majesty, he is French.

- Then we have to help him solve this.

What is Henry V remembered for? For building universities or homeless homes? No, he is remembered for the Battle of Agincourt. Three thousand English against sixty thousand French. The best riders were swept away in three hours - he won a brilliant victory and gained immortality in it.

The relationship between king and vassal is similar in nature to that between father and son. But only if the son believes that the father is to blame for something in front of him, he does not run to look for another.

Naked kings spend the most on clothes.

The rulers will not be overthrown for long. And only princes have a special charm. In their youth. In loyalty to his people. In what they should be. They are the next generation of rulers, and by killing them I am killing the future. Just like my mother taught me.
