Dialogs:

NPC:/dialogue You wanted to meet with me?

NPC:/arrogant Ah, you came about the King? King Jian is very dear to me. Since his father died, the boy-king has always trusted and listened to my advice.

NPC:/contend People believe I stole his power and turned him into a puppet, but that's a lie. /hehe I "took" nothing; I only received what he bestowed upon me.

NPC:/foldedarms If the King would like his power back, /laugh I'd gladly step down. But the King doesn't actually want me to leave.

NPC:/quarrel I'd recommend not criticizing me again, lest you also criticize the King. It might not be so well received.
