[He'll give an easy wave of his hand.] Don't worry about it. It is what it is, pleasant or not.

It's a difficult question to address. Even the ruler with the most peaceful of ideas can't prevent all skirmishes, and the variety and will of the people will mean that they won't always agree, especially when it comes to differences in culture and personal need.

Even those determined for a violent solution still need someone they believe will take the country in a firm direction.
