Chapter 135: A Predicted Ambush
"Empathising with someone, putting yourself into another shoes."
"It is such a rare thing people do these days."
"But being able to do so allows you to understand your enemy."
"To the point that you can predict their every move."
"But few still choose to humanise their enemies, those they call an ist or a phobe or whose political opinion is diametrically opposed to their own."
"As it is easier to hate and kill a dehumanised monster or those you consider a piece of subhuman trash."
"Than someone who you consider as human and sentient as yourself."
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online.

"My lord, why are you so confident that we will be attacked in either Detarnor or the lands of the royal family? They are currently the safest places to travel in the kingdom and have been bandit-free for years."
Norfaelor asked, as out of Railius’ 3 friends, he was the much more muscle-headed one and didn’t understand where the young lord’s confidence came from as they had entered Detarnor a few hours ago and encountered nothing suspicious on their journey so far.
"We will be attacked in those territories precisely because they are seen as the safest in the kingdom."
