My loving people,

We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. I have always so behaved myself that, under the Sister Falls, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my Falls, and for my empire, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know, I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble 19 year old boy with moderate social anxiety; but I have the heart and stomach of an emperor, and of an Emperor of Columbia too, and I think it foul scorn that Appomattox or East Hallow, or any prince of Civclassic, should dare to invade the borders of my realm: to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.

We will never change our name from a U to an O! Not now, not in a thousand years! Long live the Third Empire or ColUmbia!
