-- Alas, the stress should be on the first syllable. "For the souls" is possible, but it's not quite what I meant to say; the previous Emperor was not a preacher, after all—he sought material ways to improve the lives of the citizens. Yes, "for the citizens" works, but is it too formal?
— Perhaps "for the masses" then? But your version works too, in my opinion. I don't see anything too formal about it.

-- The people rightfully feel very warmly toward Her Majesty, which is why a certain sense of fanaticism overcame them at that moment, and I happened to be nearby and almost accidentally became involved. It's funny, but not scary. I must admit, at the last moment I was slightly afraid that another mishap might occur after my words about the performance, but everything seems to be fine, -- the girl looked over the stage, where Bea and Gui were already bustling about. Alaria should have guessed what she was talking about.
Alaria wasn't sure if Erephir had intentionally omitted the words about doubts, but she didn't pursue the topic.
— If you want to get the truth to the people, you could try to arrange a group interview with Nadia. But only if you want to do PR. Besides, the ground is shaky in itself, so I'm not sure how wise such an undertaking would be. On the other hand, it might help humanize and popularize Carneol, since even cooks and acrobats are becoming dragon slayers. Perhaps it's best to discuss this with Her Majesty as well.

-- In an ideal case, I would like the entire squad to go. You need to be initiated, don't you? N-no, of course, I don't know the Suzerain's plans on this matter, but... What happened cannot be underestimated; it was a great honor, and moreover, a reward for the victory awaits you. You don't think you'll make do by simply sending a letter of gratitude? "Thank you, we will spend these funds wisely, and the title will come in handy, it was a pleasure." I am sure that such matters must be resolved in person; I hope I am not wrong.
— That would be great, but I'm not sure if absolutely everyone can. Kilika has a date today.

-- Your profession is a builder. I was actually hoping that I would draw up a list of requirements, and you would oversee their execution. Well, of course, you'll contribute to the planning too... In any case, it's good that you think similarly.
— I see that the more talents I demonstrate, the more responsibilities fall upon my shoulders? — Alaria smiled wearily, — But thank you for believing in my skills. We'll think about it. Perhaps I'll even bring a bit of architecture close to my heart into the design. Assuming, of course, that the process hasn't already been launched.

-- I bet I'll have to draft an entire code, not just a hierarchy, -- the words about beheading seemed not to have affected the redhead in the slightest. -- For this, of course, I'll have to study others' experiences, but generally, if I do it according to my heart, I'm used to the magister or grandmaster (I don't know who they've appointed me as) holding the title of first among equals. The other roles are also outlined, based on talents and mutual trust. In other words, I want all of you to be someone important; I will strive for that, and yes, I will have a deputy. This decision will not simply be handed down from above; it must be something that everyone internally agrees with joyfully.
"I hope that the necessity of following a strict code doesn't scare Kilika off. Otherwise, we'll have even fewer personnel after Clin and Astellia leave. And also... alright, one thing at a time."
— A code is a good thing. I thought about mentioning it myself, but was a bit shy. As for the candidate for deputy, I fear they will have to be approved by the Empress. It's unlikely you'll have complete freedom of choice here.

-- A real military organization consists of a great many members of different ranks. Of course, we will have "squires," -- the girl smiled. -- Although in reality, it's more complicated; a very careful balance between numbers and professionalism is needed.
— That's true. The classic Carneolian method with slaves won't work here. Dossiers will also be needed in more detail than usual. And this assuming a sufficient number of volunteers so that we can afford the right of selection.
Author
-- It's quite possible that we'll need our own man in Margel or simply a place to station in case of business in the city. We'll see what the Suzerain says.
— Not impossible, but Her Majesty might have other plans for the location. So we'll have to squeeze in, perhaps, at my house. But although it's spacious, it's clearly not meant for the entire Carneolian brood—rather for a small family.

Saying this, Fyr wondered how much time was left until the performance? Maybe run to the villa after all? It should be noted that Carneol's authority could somewhat depend on the success of the performance, so.............. If only with the Suzerain's consent I could drag a musician or two from there, surely there are some among the servants. Of course, then some other formalities could be settled, and the Dear Person could finally be congratulated, and I could ask about whether the Carneolians could come in full force. But time, time is the question.
Alaria intended to set off with Erephir, if the latter decided to go.
