☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- Centralized, inherited power certainly has a beneficial effect; it makes it more difficult for all sorts of scoundrels to infiltrate such a system. Of course, things happen, but I was surprised to learn from historical books how lucky Welfern and Margel were with their monarchs – they truly provided a moral compass. About 70 percent of them were good, and that's a lot. I find it very difficult to understand what Torvik the Founder was made of, that not only he personally, but also generations of his descendants maintained an extremely high standard of dignity, while constantly being under pressure from people's expectations. And these expectations were certainly constantly high, partly because the people had become accustomed to good things.

- In my opinion, the best proof of the exceptional nature of the monarchs of Margel is the scale of the empire, advanced technologies, a high standard of living relative to the average in the world in almost all regions, a very strong economy in Anuzish, and much more. But, frankly, I think that we and our contemporaries are very lucky; with the exception of the reign of King Sillion, His Majesty Emperor Purian gave his subjects a fairly stable time, security, and the opportunity to look to the future with hope, although the events of the past year have somewhat clouded the overall picture. I sincerely hope that he is well, but even if the worst has happened, and not just in our minds... I am convinced that Her Highness Princess Naria and his close friend, Governor Draco Mellis, will lead, if not the entire empire, then at least Margel in the right direction. Although, perhaps, this is not entirely the correct definition, because "correctness" is a very subjective thing and depends on the speaker. In slightly more objective terms, I am sure that under their leadership, the subjects of the kingdom will not be deprived or wronged by fate. I just hope they don't feud with each other.

-- Oh, that's flattering! And great! So, I need to help with the assembly, refinement, well, now the universe is giving me a little more time, so I can spend more honest eight hours, if there are no business trips ) Of course... There are still many questions about the lady, is she preparing for war, but where is she from? Or maybe she has figured out some secret? In fact, the chainsaw design is very well suited for cutting wood; a friend of mine suggested that this might be the case, and tests on logs confirmed it. The teeth sequentially and automatically tear out the fibers, and thus the sword turns out to be much more effective and easier to use than standard saws ) Very good for lumberjacks.

-- Hmm, maybe you already figured that out without me, master, it just so happens that my head usually thinks about battle, -- an awkward smile.

- To be honest, Erefir, I wasn't particularly interested in her origins and the purpose of acquiring our products; it's not part of my business policy. I think that if she considered it necessary, she would have shared this information herself. For me, the main thing is that our products meet expectations and correspond to my quality standard, and everything else is details, although it would be naive to deny that if I knew what these swords would be used for, I could pay more attention to the details. By the way, I have a gift for you... Well, not a gift, because it is the fruit of your labor, so... - Quentin hands the apprentice a document. - This is a certificate that you have completed my training and are a full-fledged watchmaker.
