"And I pray, as do all my men, that your daughter finds her way down." "And if something else finds its way down first?" "Well, that would mark a time when no man  from noble birth to lowest  would wish he were king." "Sorry, general." "It looks like mankind is off the menu this evening." "(BIG FALLON GRUMBLES)" "You."

"Your running away just might have given Cloister a fighting chance." "So no one's useless, least of all the princess." "That's why we need to get you back, because one day you'll be the queen  and from then on you'll have the power to make the world better." "Isabelle  imagine all the good things you could do."
