| "Perhaps. To be safe i could slaughter every slaver and noble in kelthro. But then who would run my farms, my mines? Who would attend my great universities and gather my taxes? This risk, i must take." | |

| "The slaves cannot, they have not the education, and i cannot import the educated from outside kelthro, i could trust them even less. At least the nobility would be loyal to kelthro, if not me." | |

| Akari: I'm fairly certain there are other solutions....besides. Your new 'people' will desire justice, and keeping their oppressors around will not grant it. | |

| "But it will have a chance, this way. With Dracia and kelthro at peace, our northern border is safe, and my immortals can hold the east and west while she recovers from the war. By the time this alliance wears thin, a new army will march to meet dracian aggression." | |
