Yet Tyrion had still not responded to the series of “suggestions” put forth by the confidential secretary. He was merely staring calmly at the items on the table as though centuries had passed.
When the weight of the silence had almost crushed everyone, he finally lifted his head, “This is indeed the wisdom of maintaining order, which must have been quite effective half a century ago.”
“You should know how dire the situation in Frost had become at that time,” the confidential secretary said with a gaze that did not shy away, “Great people do many great things, but their mistakes can be as deadly as their accomplishments — for the sake of control, there are some things we simply must do.

“I do not need these,” Tyrion lifted his head and looked at the Frostfolk opposite him, “What I need are the true records — what exactly was the problem in that mine, how exactly did the Heretics infiltrate the City-State, who is accountable, who is not, and the true trajectory of Governor Winston’s administration — give me the most authentic first-hand information without considering ‘the rapid restoration of order’.”
