"But, following the skull's advice, he did not kill them on the spot – after all, the soldiers acted honorably, neither buckling to his wrath nor flinching in their duty. Instead, the wise man took some rice from his bag and boiled it, making an army of rice soldiers. The rice soldiers then tore the rajah's men apart, while Ulvantha visited the rajah's capital. He then overthrew the rajah and placed a dead whore on the throne, as a reminder that power is as fleeting as life. So do not hurry to think that your position of power might give you a strength that I do not posses. Only noble behavior and enlightenment truly matter."
