"The saints are the key people who are responsible for this country. We can't do it on ideals alone. We have to be realistic. But, Liz, you are a very pure, kind and innocent girl. I know you hate the dirty side of politics. So, in order to guide you correctly, I'm going to put Alicia in the magic academy early so that she can speak harshly."
