what do you live for

were you born a prince

Yes.

so you cant help it

Well, I don't think there's a way to avoid it after nearly 700 years of ruling, 300 of which we were independent.

sounds boring

At times it is, but I would it no other way.

why

I cannot imagine myself anywhere else, I have a lovely wife, and every day I wake up knowing that I have a purpose in life.

must be nice

It is, usually.

but theres a lot expected of you

There most certainly is, the fate of my people rests upon me.

how can you stand that

At times I don't know, how I manage.

it would be better without all that responsibility

At times it feels as such, but who else would rule?

no one

everyone should be able to rule themselves

But, that would lead to lawlessness, and who then would protect the weak and downtrodden?

everyone would stick to themselves

no one would bother anyone else

You must have much faith in humanity.

no

you cant rely on anyone but yourself

But man achieves more when he works with others.

he can still achieve plenty without

True, but it still takes many to build a great civilization.
