GoE 139 

... 

 

Prince Blaise more or less knew what Elle meant. Since childhood, his hard life made Emperor Paddu's personality follow what he had learned so far. Also about war is how to defend territory while showing who is the most powerful and rich. 

 

  A war without wealth is like a coin that has lost one side to the other. Gaining recognition for atrocities on the battlefield was one of Emperor Paddu's most ancient aspirations. Not one of the Princes of the Emperor wanted to follow the black trail. 

 

  However, the fact that Elle had just found out was not one of the familiar ones. There is an unseen terror from the cruelty and barbaric deeds of Emperor Paddu so far. No one else would know because those people would die if they dared to oppose.
