Sun Tzu

Compromises? You two treated my court like a group project with no grading rubric.

You wrote the plan, I got it past the actual adults in the room.

Both of you relax, I was the one paying for the whole expensive little masterpiece.

He wanted dramatic speeches, I wanted the walls not to fall over, we all make compromises.

Fair, but history remembers the teacher, the fixer, and the guy yelling from the balcony.

Thank you. I prefer my victories quiet and my critics historically embarrassed.

You gave me a plan so clean it offended my other advisors. Naturally, they hated it.

He calls it strategy. I call it the only reason this kingdom still has corners.

Anyway, if your general is loud, your enemy already has better odds. Repost that.

Quiet? My court heard one speech and started acting like they discovered warfare.

This is why empires need editors.

My mistake for assuming royalty could read past the first page.

Respectfully, my warning was clear and somehow I became the only functioning department.

Next time I’m sending the strategy in a format even kings can follow: fewer feelings, more winning.

I read the plan. I just liked the part where it sounded expensive.
