"Madam Headmistress, the evidence that my method is correct is the fact that I'm sitting here." There was a patronizing tone in his voice, but he pushed it aside. He didn't seem to care much about the fact he had an audience. His posture straightened, and suddenly the lazy, casual air he usually carried was gone. "You are looking at an individual that reshaped his own world into a more peaceful one. I come from a world not dissimilar to yours, with one imperialistic race taking over others. The exercise of Britannian strength was its own justification. Only the strong survive, the previous emperor called it.

"I met every Britannian act of aggression in kind. When Britannian, or any other army stood to use their force against innocent people, I placed myself and my own forces between them. Naturally, the war intensified. Such is its nature. I am not so delusional as to think my efforts did not take innocent lives. Some sacrifices were necessary. But, in the end, while those that will have the job of explaining the fall of the Britannian Empire will call me the most totalitarian, tyrannical, hegemonic Emperor the world has ever known, it is only because they will be able to say so from the greatest time of peace and cooperation the world has ever known."
