Question for the character beneath you

In fact, I really do not fight at all since I am civil enough to resolve my problems in more elegant... normal ways, such as through dialog! I have a better question; If you were in charge of Lycia, what direction would you take it in?"

Ray: I would set it on fire.

"What makes you so high and mighty, you stuck-up, know-it-all, pegasus-riding prick? You sound like sis. The lack of air from having your head in the clouds and up your ass all the time has obviously damaged your brain into thinking that all problems can be solved through nonviolence. If that worked for everything I assure you that's all I would use. But it doesn't, and a lot of times the threat of death and destruction that all-consuming fire is ever oh-so-anxious to bring seems to convince people more than diplomacy ever does. Now, for your question:

I would abolish the idea of kings owning parts of the country. Every day people have everything taken from them in death, all from the stupidity of kings declaring war on each other. And for what? Wealth? Land? In any case, you can't be born into a position. Kalin could be the head of a family of magic users one day, but she can't use magic. Unfitting.

Now, onto the good stuff. I'd first unite the entire thing along with Etruria into one giant country. By the time I control the Eturian-Lycian territory, I'll also control Ilia, so that'll come into it too. Parading around as a woman, I can use my natural good looks and the element of surprise (barely anyone outside of Ilia expects a woman to know how to do anything) to convince people to do what I want. It all goes back to most men thinking with the lower half of their body. In any case, that along with my knowledge of politics will allow me to annex the Western Isles easily. Sacae is too stubborn, of course. I admire that, but it has to go to pave the way to unification. The Ilian air force doesn't stand a chance against the Sacaen nomads' incredible accuracy with bows, however. If they did, Ilia would've owned that country a long time ago. But with the power of the Etrurian and Lycian cavalry, I can easily declare war on them and take over. Then I'll force Bern to surrender with the threat of overwhelming destruction. I hear the king there is quite a reasonable person. There's also the Missur Peninsula, but I'm sure any of the two people that live there will listen to reason.

With the continent united into a single unified country, it's only a simple matter of instating a ruling body. Enough of this king bullshit. It has got to go. Instead we'll have a council elected by the people. It will, of course, revolve around the crude yet effective principle of forcing the council members to undergo the same living conditions of the people in the section of the continent they represent. Of course there are kinks to work out, but I would be here all day if I got into those."

Kalin: "Why can't we all just get along?...

Ooh, ooh, I've got one! If there was an afterlife, what would it be?'
