Iblis & Samuraj
Samuraj
Hey Iblis, ever considered how a well-ordered plan can be as powerful as fear in steering a crowd? I'm curious what you think about that.
Iblis
A well‑ordered plan can bend a crowd like iron, but fear is the flame that keeps that iron from rusting. Use both, and you rule without a single doubt.
Samuraj
I see your point, but a ruler must temper iron and flame, not just let the flame burn. Without balance, the iron bends, and the flame scorches.
Iblis
A ruler who only bends iron loses his spark, and one who only burns has nothing to hold. The trick is to let the flame ignite the iron, then twist it into a weapon that only you command. That’s how real power survives.
Samuraj
I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
