"What do you mean I've become complacent, old man?!" Caesar pointed directly at his father with obvious dissatisfaction. "What I'm doing in my sector is a hundred times harder than what that reckless bull is doing. He just charges forward and smashes whatever stands in front of him, while I'm forced to manage an entire sector full of competing interests, alliances, ambitions, and powers that constantly test boundaries."
Then he pointed toward Mid Sector 100. "The Cradle Empire over there has become the most respected and dignified force in the region, and it has attained a status that surpasses the other millennia-old empire in prestige, influence, and public perception. Whenever there's a dispute between the surrounding empires, they come to me and ask me to resolve it for them. Trade conflicts, border disputes, military disagreements, resource claims, succession issues, all of it eventually ends up on my desk."
