- As a former circus performer, I know a thing or two about entertainment, Your Majesty. And what was happening on stage was an excellent spectacle! You certainly can't sow reason, kindness, and eternity with such a performance, but what's the most important thing in a show? To entertain the audience, to keep their attention. And they succeeded! And how! The guards at the end can be considered the highlight, the culmination of the performance!
