𓌔 ꒰ fun fact of the day with domi: ꒱ to be a successful ruler according to machiavelli's book "the prince", a ruler must instil fear into his subjects. ——— MACHIAVELLI MENTION... woah guys ap euro reference ... i luv the renaissance to add to that! machiavelli said it's best to be both feared and loved, but if a ruler was forced to choose, then it's better to be feared than loved. I haven't actually read The Prince yet but uhms I'm planning to at some point :3c
