He reflects on his formidable presence as a ruler and the tensions within his kingdom due to heavy taxes and strict laws. Hiram contemplates the possibility of war with Zamberzon and considers the potential consequences. He sees glimpses of dissent among Sayzen's nobility, indicating opposition to his plans. Prefect, one of the influential council members, expressed concerns about engaging in conflict with Zamberzon and advised caution. Hiram acknowledges the Prefect's concerns but remains resolute in his war preparations. Hiram calls for a council meeting the following day to discuss the latest intel on movements.
