Hayden shook his head, and stared at Arie with something like distaste, as he decided to speak "all my life, I have studied not only to defend myself, but also to actually perform the task should the wheel of succession turn on me. Now, you are telling me that the future ruler of the land will have to be seperated from the people? How will governance be carried out?"

"The reign of every monarch, mine included, will have to end eventually. But that doesn't mean we should leave the torch of monarchy in the hands of untrusted few."

Hayden's gaze softened a bit, as he said "I know my grandmother means well. But no, I will not let others shoulder the task of uniting the world, for it is a responsibility that would buckle a common man, and even crush him with his own aspiration. All I ask, is to be given a fair chance to show what I can do, should I come into power. Not asked to run away to paradise and leave everyone to their own devices."

"Sheep need a sheperd. Just as how man needs someone to guide them, until they are mature enough to think. But given our current state ... leaving is not an option. Pardon if I misinterpreted what you said, but I cannot let a charlatan succeed to my Grandmother. It is unacceptable."
