'The new empire is stable but that is because of the Emperor reputation. I never approved of the massacre of the Zettelian people, but if there is one good thing that came out of that, is that it kept everyone in line. They do not dare rebel. The Venician people, the Vanguan people, the Chu and Tai. They fear, respect the Emperor because of his personal prowess and his brutality he inflicts upon his enemies and foes. The problem with having such a strong pillar and power in one man is that if that pillars crumbles…..the roof on top will be going down, and it will go down fast, unless we have other pillars. And we are under that roof my lords. And if the pillar falls, we will…..be crushed to death under it.'

Most of them wanted to show solidarity by supporting Leander but now they began understand the situation at hand.
No wonder people call him a genius politician one of the lords mused.
