Spare Them

"Brothers, Sisters I love you all and free you from any duty you feel obligated to pursue your own desires. I will accommodate you within the empire as each of you sees fit." Your brothers seem to nod in approval while your sisters beam with joy.

Ito is less pleased, "Sire, your siblings may very well rise against you. You need to limit their power."

Ito has a point here that you don't need an heir to the throne rising to command your military. Then again, who is he to advise you how best to deal with the ROYAL family.

"Ito," You smile, "I think that something must been done to recognize your continued service to the empire. Would you agree?"

"It's not for me to say sire."
