What is the greatest pain in the world?
It's when the very thing you've tried so hard to protect might be sold out overnight, and you don't even have the power to stop it.
That was exactly how Churchill felt at the moment—heart-wrenching pain.

The strongest fortresses are often breached from within. The British Empire might just be that fortress on the verge of destruction.
How many people can truly understand such agony?
Seeing Churchill remain silent, Pierre emphasized again:
"So, compared to entrusting my fate to London and the Labour Party, I'd rather control the destiny of North Borneo myself. Its future will be just like its past—unchanged, including the treaties with Britain."
