[Oh, well, that makes Klaus feel better. He's scarcely been in power for twenty years. There's still time.
Not that he's at all interested in whatever the God Emperor has going on.]
I forget that lifespan in the time you come from is so much more negotiable. Of course he would have hundreds of years to make his rule absolute. I could not possibly hope to do that in the time that I have allotted -- and at any rate, I have no interest in anything quite so all-encompassing. My rule over Europa was initially intended only to establish peace and make the country safe in a way that the Heterodyne boys had failed to achieve through simply asking nicely.
Now it is nothing more than an endless cycle of complaints, conquests, civil war, and then bureaucrats with mops to smooth the whole thing over until more complaints start coming. To be frank, I would give the whole thing up if anyone else were actually competent enough to handle it in my place.
