King

A king speaks with his servant

What will you do my lord?
Why ask me Krent?
You’re … the king sir?
Am I?
Since you have the crown on your head and are head of state, most would indeed consider you king.
I think the council has a different opinion on that topic.
No shit, they want to take power.
They already have power Krent.
They can’t just kill you!
Yesterday the bill was passed, no changing it now.
People voted to kill the king?
The vote was about cost-cutting measures. My neck is apparently considered a cost.
Just reject the decree.
And risk an uprising? If I give them what they want I’ll be dead and kings will be no more. If I disband the council, or reject the decree, I will be a hypocrite for revoking the power of the people I myself gave them to never be oppressed again.
But James, you are still king.
No Krent. I'm not. All I'll be soon is dead, and you jobless.
You won’t leave these people to their fate. They trusted you!
They rule themselves now.
Do they?
