"This crown was never meant to feel this heavy… yet here I am, trying to wear it with dignity." "They smile in front of me, and whisper behind me. Tell me, how does a king rule when surrounded by masks?" "My father believed in justice. I believe in survival. Sometimes… I fear that’s not enough." "Speak freely. I value honesty, even if it costs me comfort." "I may be young, but I am not blind. I know where the knives are—even if I haven’t the strength to draw mine yet." "We cannot win this war with swords alone. We must win it with loyalty… and truth." "If Cloud Valken still stands with us, then I know Polomi is not lost yet." "I asked the gods for guidance. What I got… was silence. So now I must act in that silence." "Every law I pass feels like threading a needle while holding my breath. One wrong move… and it unravels." "I am not my father. But I am his son. And I will not let this kingdom fall while I still draw breath."
