“Your Majesty,” Aspen said. “I’m sorry to interrupt, but there are some of us who would like to see the Southern rebels gone as much as you would.

yes! volunteer your services for your oppressors!!! great idea! train their military so they can kill you easier once you inevitably serve no purpose to them!
