1:07:04
then no cost could be too great
to achieve that goal.
1:07:08
Do you hear her words?
1:07:11
She violates our highest law!
1:07:14
And then seeks to force us
into submission...
1:07:18
with a threat of war.
1:07:21
Each citizen of Izmer,
whether a Commoner or a Mage...
1:07:25
deserves an equal right
for prosperity...
1:07:29
and as Empress...
1:07:31
this is how I decree
Izmer shall be run...
1:07:35
from this day forward.
1:07:38
Such pretty words.
1:07:40
My friends, I warned you...
1:07:43
that this headstrong child...
1:07:48
will defy you and destroy you.
1:07:51
Her youth
denies her the wisdom...
1:07:55
to understand why
some things cannot change...
1:07:59
but idealism is for children...
1:08:02
and a child is not fit
to govern an Empire.
1:08:08
I ask you one last time!
1:08:10
Will you submit
to the ruling of this Council...
1:08:14
and relinquish your Scepter?
1:08:16
I was praying...
1:08:18
that you would
find the wisdom...
1:08:20
to see that the path
I propose for Izmer...
1:08:24
is the right one.
1:08:28
I do not wish to fight you...
1:08:30
but I will not
leave the Empire...
1:08:35
at the mercy
of an unscrupulous charlatan!
1:08:40
So decide as you must,
but know one thing...
1:08:46
I am not afraid.
