The first rule of warfare. Never underestimate the Humans. The second rule of warfare. Don't worry about overestimating humans; you won't.

"Few men are killed by bayonets, but many are scared by them. Having the bayonet fixed makes our men want to close. Only the threat to close will defeat a determined enemy." General George S. Patton.

Be deceptive enough to seem naive and cause chaos

[@christiandanielcaballero1896]

Ahhh the chaos it's wonderful

[@henryrodgers7386]

Beetlesheen seems cute... And you should always be careful with the cute, kind ones. People like following the cute, kind ones! This includes humans. ESPECIALLY humans, actually.

[@calvingreene90]

Princess Beetlesheen is terrifyingly good at what she does. Edit corrected spelling of "terrifyingly"

"Why do you think it's better to be loved than feared? "Because people still tend to love you when they think you don't know what they're doing."

[@usafriptide1719]

Wouldn't by that logic it'd better to be feared as you can more easily spot deception?

[@markfergerson2145]

@@usafriptide1719 If you are loved, your followers will overlook your flaws and even actively compensate for them. If you are feared, your followers will watch for your first, and last, mistake.

A Beautiful Young Woman... in deviousness a league above the Devil..

I like that Princess. She will make a wonderful Queen. In a few years, she will have established a democratic Parliament. Near the end of her glorious reign, the Throne will be just a figurehead position. She will be loved and respected by all her subjects, perhaps even become a Saint after her passing.

[@jeanannd]

An unusual and CLEVER princess! A BELOVED princess! A princess who becomes the first president of a new nation. :)

Information, misinformation, and disinformation are some of the greatest weapons a diplomat can wield.
