I was a liar. I am a liar. I have no illusions about this. But I am a liar in the service of Truth, or so I tell myself. In service of the Good—which is the same thing. I had told my lies because they ennobled me, whereas lying in service to the Empire, to an Empire that might sell its own people to the Pale . . . such lies diminished me.
