Others out there - [ Her comrades, for example - ] Think that just 'cause you're Vor, you're no friend to us. But that's not true. Not really. You might not be a friend to the proles, but you're closer to one than just about any other Vor. Killing you would give ammunition to the conservatives, would cripple your father emotionally, would set off a firestorm of retributions, and when the time came would pass the Countship onto someone whose politics no one knows anything about. No, thanks.
