Chapter 932 - 30 Volumes The Beginning of the Empire - 3 Weakness
"Palermo, I think we should stop dwelling on those irritating topics, wouldn’t it be better to switch to something more interesting? Why not share your thoughts, you know I mean your personal views and not Katya’s. Nicosia doesn’t need the haughty and incapable, it needs those who can make a true contribution."
"Komer, are you suggesting I should abandon Katya and join your camp?"
"No, I didn’t say that. In fact, whether you join or not doesn’t make much of an impact, because the general situation isn’t something one person can change. I believe you should be aware of this."
"Then what do you want me to say?"
"No, it’s not about what I want you to say, but don’t you think you could say something or do something? Perhaps Nicosia needs some changes." Komer said with a slightly emotional tone.
Palermo looked complexly at this relatively young man, who had embarked on a solitary path from attracting immigrants from three regions, undeterred and with no possibility of turning back. He had come all this way step by step, navigating between different powers, seizing every opportunity to grow stronger, and now he had shed all constraints and could openly step out from the shadows, discussing others’ fates as if it were nothing.
All of it felt like a dream.
"Komer, I don’t know to what extent you want to go, but you should be clear that a dynasty cannot be built on martial power alone. We in Mortal Society are not barbarians; we honor civilization and the law, we have faith and traditions. Martial power can destroy civilization but it cannot create it. If you want to achieve what you desire, you might need to carefully consider what you truly need right now."
