Weathering a number of problems, Souma more or less finishes dealing with the aftermath of the war. However, he was set upon by an inexplicable anxiety, the distress and pressure only felt by those in authority. It was not something he could bear alone.
But he stops short of giving
any examples of these cruelties,
Aber zur Grausamkeit und dem Ruf,
den ein Monarch ertragen muss,
Pero no da ningún ejemplo
de estas crueldades
Mas não exemplifica as crueldades,
e o que um governante deve suportar.
