Well. Consider yourself my first choice, Counselor Laughlin. I wouldn't be where I am today without you, and I don't mean just the stellar education in these walls.
Mm. You would see it that way. Listen, forget I said anything about all that - freedoms, chains. It's a long way off anyway, and King Smith will be with us for many years to come. Until he's old and grey and impossibly wiser than he already is. Though, I'm certain you've had a hand in that. Reading all the books in that library have surely come to good use.
A dreamer? Tell me what you dream of. That's my next ask.
Perhaps that will be my first decree as king. Cherries to be grown in our lands - that, or uniting the land the lie on so there's no danger in retrieving them. And perhaps too it'll be my first suggestion for a visit to the King and his men. All of this training can't simply be just to pass the time.
It is, isn't it? You've never come across it in all your books?
