Garen You there, old dog! Darius Wolf! Garen Wolf, sorry.... What god lives in that castle over there? Darius I'm 337. Garen What? Darius I'm 337! I'm not that old for a god. Garen Well, I can't call you "Wolf"... Darius Well, you could say "Darius"- Garen I didn't know you were called Darius! Darius Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?! Garen I did say sorry about the "old dog", but from behind, you looked-- Darius Well I object to your... you automatically treat me like an inferior! Garen Well I am king... Darius Oh, king, eh, very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress,-- Cassiopeia Darius! There's some lovely bones down here! Oh! How do you do? Garen How do you do, good lady. I am Garen, God-King of Demacia! Whose castle is that? Cassiopeia King of the who? Garen King of the Demacians. Cassiopeia Who are the Demacians? Garen Well we all are! We are all Demacians! And I am your king. Cassiopeia I didn't know we had a king! I thought we were autonomous collective. Darius You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes-- Cassiopeia There you go, bringing class into it again... Darius That's what it's all about! If only people would-- Garen Please, please, good people, I am in haste! WHO lives in that castle? Cassiopeia No one lives there. Garen Then who is your lord? Cassiopeia We don't have a lord! Garen What?? Darius I told you! We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week-- Garen Yes... Darius But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting-- Garen Yes, I see! Darius By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs-- Garen Be quiet! Darius But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major-- Garen BE QUIET! I order you to be quiet! Cassiopeia "Order", eh, who does he think he is? Garen I am your king! Cassiopeia Well, I didn't vote for you! Garen You don't vote for kings! Cassiopeia Well, how'd you become king then? Garen Dawnbringer Riven-- her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, passed down her sword from the bosom of the heavens, signifying by divine providence that I, Garen, was to carry her holy blade! THAT is why I am your king! Darius Listen: Strange women, coming down from the clouds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical empyrean ceremony! Garen BE QUIET! Darius You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some glowy tart threw a sword at you!! Garen Shut UP! Darius I mean, if I went around, saying I was God-King, just because some fiery demon had lobbed an axe at me, they'd put me away! Garen Shut up, will you, SHUT UP! Darius Aha! Now we see the violence inherent in the system! Garen SHUT UP! Darius Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED! Garen Bloody PEASANT! Darius Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that, did you hear that that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?!
