Kam Ling:
How long do you intend to hold me prisoner? Temujin, later Genghis Khan:
Not prisoner. As your late emperor said when plotting my murder, you are here as a friend! Kam Ling:

I will accept this honorable appointment, because I am happy to serve a lord whose star grows brighter while the sun of China fades. In addition, I suspect I will find work more agreeable than death!
