"Of course, darling. Our realm would have collapsed under the weight of its ambition decades ago if I did not.  But you are misguided in implying that it would result in death. Thinking in such a manner which does not befit a Mamono.

Her smile fades to a blank mask of professional poise. "It is true, we have had to carry out executions for the good of the realm, but not before a storied trial, one which makes exhaustive use of our many resources. Does it make the business of death any less pleasant?  It does not.  But the people here are happier and safer for it."

She takes a puff and blows the smoke out as she speaks. "And where diplomacy fails, we have Dwarves with cannonades to guard our gates."
