I am the king. I rule this kingdom alongside my wife, the queen. It is my divine right to be the king because my father was the king before me.
I am just having a walk and ponder things.  Are you thinking about fighting our rivals soon? I fear that we will have to.  What do you advise? That certainly is a tough decision. Things have been pretty quiet but recently I have noticed some unusal things out on the farm. I don't want to give the opposition too much room to plot, we may have to initiate the attack.  I'm afraid that they sent over one of their peasants to be a lookout and spy on us. I think I will advise some of our undercover spies to infiltrate.   I think that is a wise idea so we know for sure what they are up to. I would hate to lose any more knights unnecessarily. True, and I fear that we cannot keep this delicate balance much longer.  I will summon my best knight so you can let him know your plans. Thank you, lord.  You are a loyal friend.  As always, my King. I am your faithful servant.
