[FFXII] KING OF THE SEA: Good of the Empire

The senator stopped in his place, turned on his heels to face the princess, and pouted. “Our future empress—her heart has no place for the past. She must move forward, to the bright future, to a new peace in Ivalice.”

Serani knitted her brows. “Leave us for a moment,” she ordered her guard.

The guard nodded and disappeared into the thick brush.

“How do you know about Rami?” she asked Lebleau in a shaking voice.

“The senate hears everything, even the slightest of whispers. How do you think we know about Emperor Larsa’s dealings with the Dalmascan insurgents many years ago? How do you think we know about his dalliance with the sky pirate woman before she suddenly disappeared? We keep our tongues tied for the good of the Empire. She, above all, must be served.”
