[Excerpts]

“You say the women of the imperial harem know only how to compete for favor, but how do you know that’s all they can do?”

“Royal children are born to serve the empire. They enjoy boundless privilege, so they must also shoulder boundless responsibility!”

“Only those who care for the whole world can love the people as their own children. I can’t do that!”

“Would you give up this kingdom for me, or cast me aside for the sake of the kingdom?”

“This kingdom needs you!”
