"Assazd is no fool. He knows very well just how many nobles who cannot wait to chop his head off. That's why he has one of the best security I have ever seen in my life. The snake literally checks everything."
"Like before entering a room, he will send men to confirm there are no assassins hiding there. And whenever he travels, he has a very large entourage to fend off any ambushes. Sometimes he will even make multiple decoys to bait our potential detractors. Not a few nobles have lost their heads trying to plot against him."
"And the same kind of scrutiny extends to his food as well. He has his men in the kitchen keeping watch constantly. And in parties and balls, he will rarely have anything served to him with his bodyguards tasting it prior. Even in toasts, the man will only pretend to take a sip, but never actually wet his throat."
