Murder
is
always
murder
,
regardless
of
motive
or
circumstance
.
Thus
those
who
murder
or
who
prepare
to
murder
are
malefactors
and
criminals
,
regardless
of
who
they
may
be
:
kings
,
princes
,
marshals
or
judges
.
None
who
contemplates
and
commits
violence
has
the
right
to
consider
himself
better
than
an
ordinary
criminal
.
Because
it
is
in
the
nature
of
all
violence
to
lead
inevitably
to
crime
.
Nicodemus

Meditations
on
Life
,
Happiness
and
Prosperity
"
Let
us
not
commit
a
mistake
,
"
said
Vizimir
,
King
of
Redania
,
sliding
his
ringed
fingers
through
the
hair
at
his
temples
.
"
We
ca
n't
afford
to
make
a
blunder
or
mistake
now
.
"
Those
assembled
said
nothing
.
Demawend
,
ruler
of
Aedirn
,
sprawled
in
his
armchair
staring
at
the
tankard
of
beer
resting
on
his
belly
.
Foltest
,
the
Lord
of
Temeria
,
Pontar
,
Mahakam
and
Sodden
,
and
recently
Senior
Protector
of
Brugge
,
presented
his
noble
profile
to
everyone
by
turning
his
head
towards
the
window
.
At
the
opposite
side
of
the
table
sat
Henselt
,
King
of
Kaedwen
,
running
his
small
,
piercing
eyes
--
glistening
from
a
face
as
bearded
as
a
brigand
's
--
over
the
other
participants
of
the
council
.
Meve
,
Queen
of
Lyria
,
toyed
pensively
with
the
enormous
rubies
in
her
necklace
,
occasionally
twisting
her
beautiful
full
lips
into
an
ambiguous
grimace
.
"
Let
us
not
commit
a
mistake
,
"
repeated
Vizimir
,
"
because
a
mistake
could
cost
us
too
much
.
Let
us
make
use
of
the
experience
of
others
.
When
our
ancestors
landed
on
the
beaches
five
hundred
years
ago
the
elves
also
hid
their
heads
in
the
sand
.
We
tore
the
country
away
from
them
piece
by
piece
,
and
they
retreated
,
thinking
all
the
while
that
this
would
be
the
last
border
,
that
we
would
encroach
no
further
.
Let
us
be
wiser
!
Because
now
it
is
our
turn
.
Now
we
are
the
elves
.
Nilfgaard
is
at
the
Yaruga
and
I
hear
:
"
So
,
let
them
stay
there
"
.
I
hear
:
"
They
wo
n't
come
any
further
"
.
But
they
will
,
you
'll
see
.
So
I
repeat
,
let
us
not
make
the
same
mistake
as
the
elves
!
"
Raindrops
knocked
against
the
window
panes
and
the
wind
howled
eerily
.
Queen
Meve
raised
her
head
.
She
thought
she
heard
the
croaking
of
ravens
and
crows
,
but
it
was
only
the
wind
.
The
wind
and
rain
.
"
Do
not
compare
us
to
the
elves
,
"
said
Henselt
of
Kaedwen
.
"
You
dishonour
us
with
such
a
comparison
.
The
elves
did
not
know
how
to
fight
--
they
retreated
before
our
ancestors
and
hid
in
the
mountains
and
forests
.
The
elves
did
not
treat
our
ancestors
to
a
Sodden
.
But
we
showed
the
Nilfgaardians
what
it
means
to
pick
a
quarrel
with
us
.
Do
not
threaten
us
with
Nilfgaard
,
Vizimir
,
do
n't
sow
the
seeds
of
propaganda
.
Nilfgaard
,
you
say
,
is
at
the
Yaruga
?
I
say
that
Nilfgaard
is
sitting
as
quiet
as
a
church
mouse
beyond
the
river
.
Because
we
broke
their
spine
at
Sodden
.
We
broke
them
militarily
,
and
above
all
we
broke
their
morale
.
I
do
n't
know
whether
it
is
true
that
Emhyr
var
Emreis
was
,
at
the
time
,
against
aggression
on
such
a
scale
,
that
the
attack
on
Cintra
was
the
work
of
some
party
hostile
to
him
--
I
take
it
that
if
they
had
defeated
us
,
he
would
be
applauding
,
and
distributing
privileges
and
endowments
amongst
them
.
But
after
Sodden
it
suddenly
turns
out
he
was
against
it
,
and
that
everything
which
occurred
was
due
to
his
marshals
"
insubordination
.
And
heads
fell
.
The
scaffolds
flowed
with
blood
.
These
are
certain
facts
,
not
rumours
.
Eight
solemn
executions
,
and
many
more
modest
ones
.
Several
apparently
natural
yet
mysterious
deaths
,
a
good
many
cases
of
people
suddenly
choosing
to
retire
.
I
tell
you
,
Emhyr
fell
into
a
rage
and
practically
finished
off
his
own
commanders
.
So
who
will
lead
their
army
now
?
The
sergeants
?
"
"
No
,
not
the
sergeants
,
"
said
Demawend
of
Aedirn
coldly
.
"
It
will
be
young
and
gifted
officers
who
have
long
waited
for
such
an
opportunity
and
have
been
trained
by
Emhyr
for
an
equally
long
time
.
Those
whom
the
older
marshals
stopped
from
taking
command
,
prevented
from
being
promoted
.
The
young
,
gifted
commanders
about
whom
we
already
hear
.
Those
who
crushed
the
uprisings
in
Metinna
and
Nazair
,
who
rapidly
broke
up
the
rebels
in
Ebbing
.
Commanders
who
appreciate
the
roles
of
outflanking
manoeuvres
,
of
far-reaching
cavalry
raids
,
of
swift
infantry
marches
and
of
landing
operations
from
the
sea
.
They
use
the
tactics
of
crushing
assaults
in
specific
directions
,
they
use
the
newest
siege
techniques
instead
of
relying
on
the
uncertainties
of
magic
.
They
must
not
be
underestimated
.
They
are
itching
to
cross
the
Yaruga
and
prove
that
they
have
learned
from
the
mistakes
of
their
old
marshals
.
