THE 5th SENTENCE

Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe...

His Hearth by Mary Calmes (Link)

Sin Undone by Lariss Ione (Link)
Audiobook: Orator ends every sentence with an upward lilt, like a question. DNF, bored with the story. Didn't read all the books before this one in the series, and therefore am not invested in the characters.

I would say that's pretty good advice for a Prince.

Oh, my, the term "Machiavellian" was well-earned, wasn't it?
