1:06:02
for I would be
defying my conscience...
1:06:04
and our people.
1:06:09
Have you all forgotten?
1:06:11
This Council was created to
protect the people of Izmer...
1:06:16
but ask yourselves...
1:06:17
Is this what you are doing?
1:06:20
I say not.
1:06:23
Your concern
is only for yourselves...
1:06:26
not the people.
1:06:28
And Your Majesty
is forcing the Empire...
1:06:30
to the verge of civil war...
1:06:32
in the best interests
of the people?
1:06:34
The man who convinced you
to take the Scepter from me...
1:06:38
so that he would leave
the state defenseless.
1:06:43
Be careful, my friends...
1:06:45
for once he's done with me,
this Council may be next.
1:06:53
War benefits no one, Profion...
1:06:55
and I oppose it.
1:06:59
But if it is necessary to obtain
the freedom of our people...
1:07:04
then no cost could be too great
to achieve that goal.
1:07:08
Do you hear her words?
1:07:11
She violates our highest law!
1:07:14
And then seeks to force us
into submission...
1:07:18
with a threat of war.
1:07:21
Each citizen of Izmer,
whether a Commoner or a Mage...
1:07:25
deserves an equal right
for prosperity...
1:07:29
and as Empress...
1:07:31
this is how I decree
Izmer shall be run...
1:07:35
from this day forward.
1:07:38
Such pretty words.
1:07:40
My friends, I warned you...
1:07:43
that this headstrong child...
1:07:48
will defy you and destroy you.
1:07:51
Her youth
denies her the wisdom...
1:07:55
to understand why
some things cannot change...
1:07:59
but idealism is for children...
