"To be born in a position of privilege is always fortunate. You will have money, a purpose, a place in the world and eternal protection. If you don't think that is good fortune, I think you should trade places with others without those perks."

Lucky little brat.

"You have a choice. Take it or don't take it and gamble. Maybe you'll get to live for a few years, maybe forever. Maybe the person who takes over will be generous." Unlikely but possible. "Even so, I wouldn't like my odds."
