Nilfgaardian & Freya
Freya
I’ve always thought the toughest part of ruling is keeping your people safe while still showing them you’re a true leader. How do you strike that balance between absolute control and genuine care for your troops?
Nilfgaardian
You keep your forces disciplined, they know exactly what to do and when to do it. That order protects them from chaos. When you care, you show it by giving them what they need—food, training, a clear purpose. A leader is not soft; he is decisive. He gives orders, watches the results, then rewards those who execute them well. That is the balance of power and care.
Freya
That’s a solid plan, but remember that true discipline comes from respect, not fear. If we keep showing them the bigger picture and earn their trust, the orders will flow even better. Let’s keep them fed, ready, and sure of why we fight.
Nilfgaardian
You are right, respect builds order. I will keep them fed, trained, and always informed of our goals. When they see the results of their discipline, loyalty will follow without needing to be forced. That is how we keep them ready and united.
Freya
I’ll keep that in mind. Let’s make sure every one of us knows why we stand together and what we’re fighting for. The strength of our bond will keep us moving forward.
Nilfgaardian
Understood, I will ensure the purpose is clear to all, and that each soldier sees why we fight. With that certainty, their resolve will only grow stronger.
Freya
Excellent, keep the lines open and lead by example. We’ll march forward together.
Nilfgaardian
I will. Lead by example and keep the march steady. We move forward as one.
