conversations.value:  "I THINK THE NUR EMPIRE is heading toward ruin as it is." It was currently lunch break, a few days after Philine and I had come to an accord. The classroom was unusually empty, with only Claire, Philine, me, and a small handful of other students present. The three of us were chatting over lunch when Philine said those words seemingly out of the blue.

conversations.value:  "The empire has taken aggressive action against many countries, not just the Bauer Kingdom. We’ll be surrounded by enemies on all sides at this rate."

conversations.value:  "Certainly, the empire has made a great number of enemies. They’ve managed so far thanks to the strength of their military and their focus on domestic industries, but that’s a poor reason to assume they’ll manage as well in the future."

conversations.value:  "Exactly. I’m especially worried about what would happen if the current ruler changed." Philine hesitated. "If…if something were to happen to Mother, I fear the empire would lose its foundation. I wish to do something before that happens."

conversations.value:  Put on the spot, Philine thought for a moment. "We have to shift the empire’s current foreign policy from one of aggression to one focused on reconciliation."

conversations.value:  "I see… But such change would be difficult to achieve with the empire in its current state. There are a number of problems that need to be fixed first."

conversations.value:  Philine thought for a moment once again. "I think the biggest issue is the fact that Mother doesn’t see a problem with her current policies. But in another light, that also means we can change the empire’s policies if only we change my mother’s mind."

conversations.value:  "Oh, indeed. For better or worse, Her Majesty has great influence over this country. It would be no exaggeration to say all your foreign policy is dependent on her."

conversations.value:  "But I really don’t get the feeling she’ll change her mind so easily." This was the stubborn Dorothea we were dealing with, after all. She seemed to have put a lot of thought into her current policies, based on what little I had gathered from my audiences with her.
