I will not hide my identity nor pretend these words are not attached to me. There were men who thought I committed many wrongs before I came here. One man held me accountable and spared me nothing besides a lingering death, which leads me to my question: in your estimation, are there any crimes that are unforgivable?

What a common man or woman cannot - should not - do, a king or a queen can do for the good of their people, correct? Great sacrifices are expected in battle - in war - however do you think that a ruler's life should be forfeit for them? What good can they do if they are slain prematurely?

I can admit when I am wrong, but on this...

I don't understand.

Thank you.

I am looking for the reason I died. I am looking for the reason a dagger put an end to all of my dreams.

I admit I killed thousands - maybe tens of thousands - but I eliminated my enemies too. They can no longer harm anyone and they have done more than enough of that.

Mayhap you bit too much when you made the choice. You upset someone as a result, that is clear.

I do not know your world or it's war. But tis anything similar to mine, I would naught think twice to use necessary brute force to stop the butching. Husbands, wives, children, tens of thousands ended in a single breath. Soldiers and warriors decided their lives were short when they took their oath. And what of the common? They only know how to build houses, make food, worry about their child's future, and pray.

I admit I do not know how or why your enemy decided that coward counter was best. To leave so much dead in the wake when those people know naught of war? Mayhap tis is why they welcomed you with a dagger.

Forgive my bluntness, but I rather not lie.

So I am to blame for Cersei's ploy? She scattered her soldiers among the common folk. If even one of them survived, my men - my son - was in danger. I lost two sons and two dear friends. I was not about to risk the lives of any others I cared about and I wanted the battle to be done.
