-nods- I found that- having a steady progression helps.

I started from a single county, and grew to have two Crowns upon my head- Ireland and Wales.

I suppose it was merely you learn from what you have- and you adapt the lessons you learn.

Grant people titles so you don't have to do all the work. When I constructed castles- I made baronies. When I had a city constructed for the people to live in- I made mayors.

Things like that.

It's still a whole bunch of stuff to keep track of, even if you're not managing it all yourself.

Mmm. Indeed.

But- that is why I have a council. Even if I am King, with the graces of Lugh, I am still only a man.

It is why I must have the most capable advisers.

'S probably a good thing you don't have to deal with it anymore, though. It's too hectic to want to do forever.

-sighs- Yes, indeed.

But a part of me wishes that I could've done more... perhaps on the uniting of the Islands half. Rather than administration.

I had heard of that- great First Emperor of the Heavens. The one the Latinists talked about.

The Macedonian who conquered the East. Nothing compared to Lugh, of course but... if I had built the Britannia I wanted in my own lifetime- I would have been happy.

Comparing yourself to great men from the past means you'll always come up short. It's not a good way of figuring out if you were good or not.

It isn't that I wanted to be another Emperor upon a count of Latinists.

Or a great warrior of Lugh to be counted amongst the likes of Cu Cuchulainn- I just wanted to see- the islands that I called my home- to be united.

I wanted to bring order to Britannia. Unify it against the storms- the raiders and hosts that came from foreign lands- to take advantage of it whilst it was fractured from the retreat of those Latins.

-smiles at that- Hmmh.

Indeed. Perhaps the second of my name will unify Britannia.

Or his son.

Indeed it is- if they are capable like me.

I am lucky that I was born with talent. And that I had been honed in that talent by good education.

I have tried to give my sons the best education possible- my third-born son is a Genius- but his education was not as good as my own... my second-born son was a moron. First-born though- well- I already said- though he was by no means a born genius- he was the best of them.

It's sad that he passed before I did.

But of course- they are all my children- I love them dearly.

I am content with the country falling into the hands of my third-born, the second of my name.

There's no way to actually go back and see what happened, is there?
