Your words strike true. A king who must buy foreign blades proclaims his own weakness louder than any herald. The Oathbreaker may cloak himself in titles, yet he cannot summon the loyalty that springs from honor freely given. Against men who remember their vows at Runnymead, his cause stands on sand.
The path he treads grows darker with each false step, and in the end he will find that oaths broken return like wolves to their maker. Those who fight for honor, for their sworn word, and for the blood of their brothers cannot be cowed by coin or threat.
And I thank you for your steadfast reading. Your encouragement heartens the work more than you know.
