"If we were to only spend time preparing for any challenge that life would throw our way, we would never be able to meet that same challenge when it arrived, as we would not be living our lives at all. None of us ever know what we are capable of until we find ourselves in such a situation. Look at Lord Wytch, for example. His father was raised from a lord for the sacrifice of his grandfather, despite said sacrifice having been on the side of your great uncle during the Dance, and managed to make himself somewhat prosperous. Lord Wytch, not even two years ago, lost his father to a jealous neighbor, but look what became of him after assuming lordship? His enemies destroyed, his lands secured, praises sung for the Wytch name amongst the populace, favor from his liege, and now, a friendship with you, a crown prince?"
