I took the line about bending vs breaking in an ominous tone... it's better to bow to the empire than be broken by it...

Yet it was also paired with the line "therein lies hope". While the paired "therein lies freedom" might imply something like finding peace in enslavement, "therein lies hope" almost seems to imply waiting for the opportune moment to strike back against your oppressors.

Assuming the line is said by Yotsuyu, the key word in there would probably be "waiting". As in not acting immediately or in the near future, but waiting for some undefined moment in the far future, during which time Yotsuyu and the Imperial occupation can continue to strengthen their rule.

I think she's making that speech to the subjugated Domans (or presenting it as her justification to the WoL or some such) in order to quell their discontent. (Or try to, at any rate.) Don't resist and rebel, but just accept your current situation, and you'll live to see another day.

Seems a very valid inference to make. Particularly given her rather condescending tone of voice.
