Yes, you are and it's not just because. How many times must you be told that you cannot die? Perishing in war means everything is over. There was no point to any of this if you go out there and die. You will have sacrificed lives for no reason.
And what you're overlooking is that we serve Iriy. As you are its Czar, you are served but we will do whatever must be done to serve Iriy's best interests. Medb will never be that. Do you understand? Athena needs to prepare the rope.
Do not doubt my devotion to this country. I will show you just how far I will go to preserve it.
