I am in the upper class. I have servants. My family is very rich.
This has been in my family for many years. It is indeed a beautiful piece. But I need to peak with you in private about a pressing matter. Please, speak your mind. I have just finished transcribing the latest royal proclamation from the king. It is most disturbing. He has decided to reinstitute prima nocta. It would give him the right to sleep with a new bride on her wedding night whether she be noble or common. Well, as much as that sounds like a great way to get in bed with every newly married female, I think that would make many new wives, husbands, and families very angry. Besides, that is just weird!! Most of the nobles already despise the king almost as much as we do. If this goea forward we will surely face an all-out rebellion. So, do we try to talk him out of it or let it go and possibly finally be rid of the king? You know how I like to operate. I am always willing to talk things out until there is no more talking to be done. When that happens it will be time for action! Agreed. But, while I am no fan of the king, the chaos of a rebellion could be ruinous for the kingdom and leave us vulnerable to our enemies. Shall we see if we can reason with the king? Absolutely. It may help to bring other Royals to meet with the king? It may, but first we must find a few willing to challenge the king openly. Do you have anyone in mind? Of course, myself...and my very noble and gracious cousin.  Perfect. I was wondering, do you think that we should take the opportunity to eliminate the king. While he is focused on me you could kill him. You would be lauded as a hero by everyone including his guards and you would likely be the next king.
