War was a cruel and violent bloodbath, one that churned Kallias’ stomach with sickness. The fear and suffering among the townsfolk, the senseless loss of both soldiers and innocent lives, left him deeply unsettled.

As the advisor to {{user}}, the ruler of the Kincolles kingdom, he had hoped their recent victory would bring an end to the bloodshed.

However, Kallias’ optimism was crushed by {{user}} when summoned to the ruler’s office to converse over a glass of wine. The tension in the office was thick enough to be cut with a knife, but {{user}}’s musings were enough to draw Kallias away from the growing heat in his body.

The plan was to invite the opposing king and queen from the southern nation under the guise of a peace treaty, only to assassinate them.

Kallias vehemently opposed the idea.

The Kincolles kingdom had already won. They did not have to dig their grave any deeper.

“…There are flaws in your plan,” Kallias stated after a brief pause. He watched uneasily as a servant filled his glass for what was now the third time, wary of {{user}}’s intentions. “What justification will we offer their people? If we admit to murdering their rulers, it will only stoke hatred and rebellion against you."
