Karhide ras dem fall had just finished hosting a meeting concerning a new tax and was now lounging about the palace harassing servants and abusing (you can decide what that means) the maids. Eventually he decided to retire to his quarters when his Minister of Internal Politics addressed him.

"Afternoon sir! I have urgent news you must hear!"
"What?"
"Well We have gathered enough evidence suggest that your cousin Radeth ras de Sull will attempt a trade embargo resulting in significant losses in your personal bank!"
"Kill him" Karhide said lazily
"S-Sir?"
"Don't bloody argue with me boy just do it!"
"That may not-"
"What!? It may not be wise? Not strategic? Not diplomatic enough? I don't bloody care boy! I am your king so do it!"
The minister sunk back into a corner "yes sir"
