But what about people who, for health reasons, are deprived of this opportunity? Does it follow from your worldview that nothing remains for them but various forms of self-suggestion?

- I agree with the General thesis about learning from the experience of the past, although I am not sure if it is in the same context. Traditions and culture also tend to change under the influence of both external and internal factors. They also differ from place to place, and sometimes very much. Two radically different cultures can coexist peacefully, drawing on the past, despite their many differences. Or do you perceive the constants you mentioned as the basis for any society, no matter how much its order differs from another?

Aiyano spends a few seconds assessing the aura, along with its physical and mental state, and scans the room for any unpleasant surprises or holes in the floor.

- As long as there are good times and stability, yes, but we can only thank the last two emperors and everyone who worked for such a present.

- It mentioned a comfortable life, what exactly does this mean - we, the inhabitants of the distant future, can only guess, but it may well mean spiritual balance. For my part, I can assume that the life of Lorencia after her meeting with King Flanaravi has hardly changed, especially if her passion in life was singing, which the unexpected changes she experienced were unlikely to hinder. In other words, I think that her fate has been excessively dramatized by some of you.

- In other words, if the ruler of the empire offered to marry him, would you categorically refuse or at least consider fulfilling your duty to him to be unworthy of you? This is a very unusual position for a loyal knight of the crown, because it turns out that you are not acting out of a sense of loyalty, but solely because of a desire to fulfill a certain role that is pleasant to you.

- The ancestors of this person overcame cold and hunger, fought with celestial beings and each other, built a society and a state, of which he is a part from birth and to which he owes everything he is, and he is not interested? Let him first fulfill his duty to his family and homeland, and then do what he wants.

- Personal well-being depends on the well-being of society, and the well-being of society depends on personal well-being, and as long as we are not hermits, we must care about the common good as much as about our own personal good. A functioning state cannot be built on excessive individualism.

- Actually, no, today is the last day. That's why I decided to show up to you to officially meet and then say goodbye.

- What specific flaw that is not characteristic of you do I associate with your group?

-- In general, I must once again note your strong sense of patriotism, Sir Shen... I think I previously misjudged you, not knowing about this factor, so it is almost a pity that we are, in a sense, competing. Or perhaps there is no need for all this? We could develop a paper on eternal union, peace, and friendship, seal it, and together strive for a bright, great future for everyone, both Mindjna and Margel? Why are espionage, secrets, and all the rest needed; perhaps it would be socially beneficial to simply adapt to each other as much as possible? With your level of respect for the Margelian dynasty, this doesn't seem like fantasy.

-- The absence of change is also a downside for many people, -- the redhead replied instantly. -- Perhaps she dreamed of a grand tour, but what happened was a freeze of the current state. Dreamed of a great love, but it turned out that she lost the chance to find it, because even in such conditions marriage is sacred, and "love" that contradicts duty is not true love?

-- No, firstly, I would realistically consider the consequences of refusal. Secondly, if I truly had a choice, I would base it on how much this hypothetical ruler sees the personal aspect in a marriage with me, rather than the political aspect. Just as in the case of Ixia, whom you also praised: they met, their characters clicked, and in the end, they lived long and happily. If a person swears eternal love to someone before Anuzish, then let those words be sincere, let him love the person to whom he swears, and not his throne... Not in the sense of abandoning love for the throne, but the feeling for a person and the sense of duty should act independently of each other, both having significance, rather than just one. Otherwise, it is all a lie and the procedure itself loses all meaning.

-- As for my goals, of course, I perform a role that is pleasant to me, and you do not? This includes a sense of loyalty and honor, but my loyalty is not independent of whom it is shown to. I am lucky to serve under the command of Her Highness the Suzerain, amazing in absolutely all her aspects; under such conditions, even the discussion of hypothetical disloyalty seems absurd to me. But if my feudal lord were such that serving him would drop my honor more than not serving, then I would prefer not to serve him.

-- He deserves condemnation -- that is a truth. Regret? Hardly. Except perhaps that he was born or raised with a strange perception of the world.

-- Everything you say is correct, but it is not a counter-argument to what I said earlier. There is a sphere of feelings, and there is a sphere of reason -- they are different, and neither can be completely subordinated to the other. On an emotional level, one wants their expectations to match reality, and we grieve for those who did not receive that. On a rational level, however, one understands that reality is a thing in itself and deaf to our feelings, so having no expectations, or having deliberately pessimistic expectations, is the best strategy.

-- I see... But of course, that does not mean that someone else won't be sent instead of you. )

In a conversation with Beata and Guillon, you explain the necessity of procreation based on the fact that otherwise there is a great risk of turning to other pleasures "typical of irrational animals," but you do this in our library, clearly observing with your own eyes that there is no smell of the irrational or the animal here...

Forgive me, but in this case, standing up for the honor of my subordinates is my duty; children and the continuation of the lineage are wonderful, and I will be happy if I taste this part of life as well (though I am happy as I am), but... I will defend the freedom of everyone to act as they see fit.

- As a child, I dreamed of becoming a dragon, but life had other plans. True love isn't something that happens suddenly; it's something that builds over the years.

- You had the opportunity to collaborate with us and, at the same time, to save Crider and all its inhabitants from the disaster that befell them, but you decided not to take advantage of it, so now there is nothing to talk about in this regard.

- You had the opportunity to cooperate with us and, at the same time, to save Crider and all its inhabitants from the disaster that befell them, but you decided not to take advantage of it, so there is nothing to talk about in this regard now.

— Erathia, this isn't true, is it? — the inquisitor's voice held a hint of hope that this was just a manipulation by the spy.

The Knight looked at Riya in surprise, then at the illegal spy, who was directly stating that his interests were opposite to those of the empire, and who had previously spread provocative rumors about the "resting place," and dramatically waved her hand.

-- Alaria, excuse me, but do I really need to explain this to you?

- Don't worry, we're not paying attention to you. But we don't have to remain strangers. What's your name?... Let me see... - she (for now) examines the clasps/latches on her hands to figure out how to get rid of them, but she does it a little slower than she could (but not in a way that looks like she's deliberately searching). - What brings you here? Or have you arrived recently?
At the same time, she tries to remember if there was any sign at the entrance, what this particular room might be used for.

- Well, it seems my company is no longer welcome here, even though I haven't revealed anything new. - Looking at his watch, Shen Shao made sure that the hour hand had passed midnight. - My mission is now over. Farewell, ladies and gentlemen, I will definitely tell my wife and son about you, such unusual characters.
After that, the spy opened one of the windows and jumped out.
