"Calm down, your grace. Hear my proposal first. Do you really think a barbarian could ever be recognised as a Duke? The King and the Church will never agree.

"As I said, we have a huge battle coming soon. But, I'd rather have Barbarian blood spilt than the blood of believers of Solis.

We ought to use the Barbarian leaders to fight against Emperor Lich, but at the same time, we shall kill and weaken the Barbarians.
