"We must strike first! A coward would send a Treasurer with a purse, to reward those who would renounce the conspiracy. Someone more naive might send a Regent, in hopes of reaching the people's hearts, calling them to stand united and protect the crown even in the face of their enemy's blades. I advise you to show more wisdom. Visit upon them precisely what they plot to visit upon you. Order your Minister to send assassins to the homes of the conspiracy's leader. Decapitate the conspiracy, and no harm will come to you. They will be like a pack whose leader was gutted on a horn."
