"A king without greed is even worse than a figurehead! Saber. You said you would martyr yourself for your ideals. In life, you must’ve been a pure saint. A proud and noble figure, certainly. But who can truly admire the martyr’s thorny path. Who dreams of such an ending? A king… A king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh more loudly and rage for longer. He must exemplify the extreme of all things, good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration, to be as the king is, can burn within his people. Proud king of chivalry, the righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However, I’m certain you know what became of those who were saved but left for themselves. You saved them, but you never led them. You never showed them what a king should be. You abandoned your men when they lost their way. Then, alone and untroubled, you followed your own pretty little ideals. Thus, you are no true king. You are just a little child, enraptured by a false idol of the king who serves others, but not themselves."
