Don't confess all your plans just now, you're a fool if you don't think she will sell you out. Discretion and professional courtesy can be waived in matters of the state. And she doesn't bite on the hand that feeds with its claws trained hard on anyone who bleeds, it doesn't matter who believes you. It matter what would happen to them if they let you get away with it.
All the temples are in ruins now and all the armies turned to dust, while those strong people did what they wanted to do, the weak suffered what they must, and then it echoed into the hallowed halls all the awful thunderous sound of Spanish steel and Spanish guns... Atahualpa's litter drops him on the ground
And that monolithic evil that you sought to overthrow it is older than the ground that you're standing on, it's older than you'll ever know, so your nation will walk down the Trail of Tears, all your children disappeared never to be seen again. Athenian sails crest the horizon and you know exactly what that means.
