You are not my enemy, but if you do not want to make enemies, and you will not help people, at least hold your silence and avoid telling people that you could have assisted them but chose not to. I do not resent you for it, because I was not in need of much help, but others might. You needn't write your every thought.
I remember you. Do you not remember me? Katarin, now Princess of Kordala. You told me of your dragon magic.
You understand that before I had an army I held smaller commands. If a man tells me that he has a skill, and wishes to put it to use, and then it turns out that the twenty years of experience he claims he has are a fabrication, or something he thinks he will accomplish in the far future? It doesn't encourage me to trust his word or to think I can rely upon him for anything.
