The Conquered, Part 3: Forging Weapons

You brought me up in your palace ever since you orphaned me.  And in turn I’ve feigned gratitude, loyalty, and utmost obedience. 

 

It sickens me. 

 

But even as a child I knew I needed more power to crush you.  Do you remember how you defeated my people?  You knew you couldn’t pierce our armor or break our swords.  So you stabbed us in the back; you used trust as your weapon.  So I’ve bided my time, gaining your trust little by little, waiting to use it against you.  You’ve taught me well, my master.  I promise to repay you tenfold.
