Kigan!

You bastard! You should never have had your men attack a child! This is your fault! I can't believe how cruel yo--.... I... I'm regretful to inform the citizens of Narborough that Prince Clement, the youngest of the line, passed away in his sleep early this morning. ... He was not in pain, from what I can tell, and if he was meant to go,

I see.

I can't say I'm surprised. With the state of affairs as it is, the lack of news of Prince Clement's health was an almost certain indicator that he was not doing well. If there had been anything good to report, after all, I'm sure you would have been swift to do so--given as you of Sandomierz claim to want your takeover of Narborough to be a peaceful one. I can't imagine that His Highness' death will do anything to grease the wheels.

[d_omesticity]

... the takeover was peaceful. The war was not. ... you, as a knight, should not expect otherwise.

[d_omesticity]

... it is unfortunate that he has passed, but it is not as though we did not try to save him. We did the best we could.

[necropantser]

My, my. I don't recall ever saying anything otherwise, General Audrey.

[the_true_mirror]

No... no, this can't be... not him, he was too young...

[d_omesticity]

... I know. It is unfortunate that he was taken away so soon in his life... he could have made a difference in this world, I think.

...You're... from Sandomierz, aren't you? One of the generals...
And even so... you're still...

...It's said that those beloved by the Lord are soon taken by him. ...I... I don't know if it's true, all the time, but...

...it's the only way I can accept this, even if it was fated.

[conquerandevour]

So this is my fault, then?

[d_omesticity]

... I didn't say that.

[conquerandevour]

Then pardon my wording there. The child died, because like in all wars, people die. Don't raise your voice at me.

[d_omesticity]

... I don't think he deserved it. He was a child.

[myladydragon]

I... It's not fair!

[d_omesticity]

... I know, it isn't.

[myladydragon]

Couldn't you have done something? To save him?

So many of our people... have died already...

[myladydragon]

Why didn't you help us, like you said you would?!

[acaelousque]

So it's as they say--

"Only the good die young."

[d_omesticity]

... I wonder if I will die young or old, in that case.

[acaelousque]

If you have to wonder, I think you already know.
