“It is nice, being powerful.

Seeing others bend to your will.

I imagine this must be how kings and queens feel–that with just a few words, they can ignite a war or enslave an entire population.

This must be what I fantasized about as a little girl, crouching on the stairs of my old home, pretending to wear a heavy crown on my head and look out at a sea of kneeling figures.”
