Volume 6[edit | edit source]
- (To Emile) “The most important person in this room has already read the letter, Warden Emile. That would be me, incidentally.”
- (To Geril) “A [King] shouldn’t be concerned with all the minutiae of his subject’s lives, Geril. That’s a valuable lesson I learned just today. Onwards, I say. No one’s died from being struck by an orange. And if they have? Well, there’s probably worse fates.”
Volume 7[edit | edit source]
- (To Flos) “I may be a small [King] compared to the legend of the King of Destruction, but I am still a [King], Flos Reimarch. What could you offer me that is worth more than my crown?”
- (To his court) “Send a [Message] to Belchan. To the world. As of this moment, Jecrass rides to war against Belchan. Jecrass declares war on Belchan. I declare war on Belchan.”
- (To Lyfelt) “My plan is this: take Levrhine first. Claim it, before it is destroyed and the people slaughtered for your mistakes.”
- (To Flos) “No. Just silly, foolish people. Thoughtless, but not cruel. And if you slew all of them, the world would be empty.”
- (To Flos) “No. But if you kill all those you demand, King of Destruction, King of Reim, you will kill guilty people. But innocents too. And if you do—you will be a monster like the very man you have come for.”
- (To Flos) “It occurs to me you have always made one mistake, Flos Reimarch. You read parts of me so well. But you do not know me… You assume I could turn back. I could refuse. That I could have not come here, or stood my ground. But you forget one thing: I am a [King].”
- (To himself) “But skill. The blade lives. It is more than a class. More than a Skill.”
- (To Jecrass’ army) “Today. Today, my citizens—we will bring all our wrath down on him. Today. It cannot be tomorrow, or a week from now. I am tired. Let’s end it in one battle.”
- (To Canrel) “River Warden Canrel. Your father’s bravery did me the greatest honor I could ask for as ruler of Jecrass. I would take a thousand such men again, if only they lived. Do you seek to take his place?”
- (To Canrel) “I know. But you are too young, River Warden Canrel. There will be another war. For now—serve your people and the crown. I need every hand, and yours is best used here. Your father was a brave man. A good man. I would not be able to forgive myself if I let his son die. Do you understand?”
- (To Yisame) “Your Majesty, Are we [King] and [Queen], or ruler and vassal? Because I am unaccustomed to speaking to those lesser than me as if they were equals.”
- (To Yisame, Perric and Speaker of the Trees) “Either I have an assurance that Jecrass not fall alone, or I will accept Flos of Reim’s bloody treaty, though I will condemn a foolish man, a shortsighted man, but still a halfway decent man to death, and all those who served under him.”
- (To Jecaina) “Jecaina. It’s me. I might have leveled—but you’ve dueled me since you were a girl. Nothing’s changed. See?”
- (To Quarass) “What would you say to that, Quarass? It might destroy this nation I was given to rule by my father. But Lyfelt need not die for it. Innocent people might not need to die for it. And—that was why I started this damn war! What was the point, if I make peace?”
- (To Perric) “You know, Perric, you’re in no position to give me orders. And I rather disliked you anyways. This conversation is over. Goodbye.”
- (To Perric) “Perric! Release my daughter or I’ll cut your head off and feed it to the worms!”
- (To Perric) “Fight me, Perric. And I’ll kill you like the pig you are.”
- (To Perric) “You cannot have her. I said, I challenge you, Perric. As [Kings]! Fight me!”
