"Life is not a ballad, a poor little beautiful poetess, lost in her beautiful words. Life is a struggle. And it was these witchers who taught us how to fight, who are worth more than us. It was they who showed us the way, they paved it for us, they littered it with the corpses of those who were a hindrance and an obstacle for us, people, the corpses of those who protected this world from us. We, Mazel Essi, just continue this struggle. We, not your ballads, are writing the history of mankind."
- Prince Agloval
