Hey, I just came across Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects and what actually caught my attention wasn’t even the Imperial Guards, but the idea that Rayne had to go through hundreds of betrayals before changing his approach.
          
          It feels like the story isn’t just about power, but about learning how to deal with people who are fundamentally unreliable.
          
          I’m curious: was that shift in strategy something you planned early on, or did it evolve as the story developed?
