Remy Hii: Prince Jingim

Quotes 

• Prince Jingim : My feelings have never swung so wildly before. Not even in battle.

  Hundred Eyes : I've heard some call that fatherhood.

• Kublai Khan : Fatherhood is nothing to take lightly. And yet there are few joys in life as complete as the welcoming of your first child. Even a girl. Of course, if it is a boy life is far more blessed. The future secured, everyone happy. But, son or daughter that baby is born of you. Your seed, your blood, your heart.

  Prince Jingim : Thank you, Father. Your words give me strength.

  Kublai Khan : Kaidu understands this. Love of one's child is sacred. Kaidu understands many things. The world gets bigger you open your arms wider. Is that not the Genghis way?

  [growing agitated] 

  Kublai Khan : You let in the outsiders, with their sad eyes and wounded hearts. The orphaned, the abandoned. Let them in your home. Learn from them, yes but raise and love them. Offer them all the magic the whole world has to offer. Then they fuck you. Oaths? Meaningless. Love in their eyes, worthless. Heart they promise you will never be.

• [last lines] 

  Kublai Khan : [to Jingim]  Now you must go, my son.

  Empress Chabi : What is this?

  Kublai Khan : Ahmad.

  Empress Chabi : Has been found?

  Prince Jingim : Father...

  Kublai Khan : [to stunned Marco]  Your service is complete. Your service is complete. Blood only!
