— The press. Those who mock the imperial family, even indirectly, should be executed to discourage others from doing the same. It's one thing to talk about it among friends, and quite another to declare it to the whole country. If there is no respect for the emperor, there will be no respect for his subjects. By insulting him, they insult us.

— Do you think ordinary citizens would approve of such measures? — Bert asked. — Although I agree that lies and baseless accusations do not become the press, and only the truth deserves publication, no matter who it concerns. But it is also not worth writing about every little thing, as in the case of the emperor's tired appearance during the opening ceremony. Apparently, he is a hardworking and diligent person. I feel that you know a lot about the imperial family, and probably about their history too?
