"About breaking the news to the masses." Kaze said, looking at Kylie, "Should we show the same footage and give an identical presentation?"
"You don't know what you want to do?" Kylie asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"I do." He smiled, "However, as my voice, I expect you to act on your own and to represent me well."
"I'd recommend a heavily edited video that removes the attempted assaults and murders." She replied cautiously, "We cannot contain this many people if they panic. What is your plan?"
"Correct." The emperor nodded, "We don't have trust and no calming mechanism.
Therefore, our announcement must be short and decisive without any proof.
We'll let demonstrations and examples speak for us."
"Demonstrations and examples?" Evalyn asked with a grave tone, making everyone else shiver.
Only two words describe a person like Kaze's mindset: politically shrewd. Not [overt narcissist] or [callous sociopath]. Kaze isn't a hero or villain—he's both. That's worse because you must accept that his narcissism doesn't matter and his dark actions are neither callous nor sociopathic. They're sympathetic, benevolent, and benign in nature, and... that's god fucking awful. XD
