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 enjoy the jester. In fact, he is entertaining me. Have your brought me the news of the rumors? Yes, my lord. It would appear your spies were right, the queen has been eating cake in secret at the little bakery down the street. That is all you found? She eats cake at a little bakery down the street? Yes, but is no small matters. Do I have to remind you that you had to replace her whole wardrobe twice in the last year? These gowns cost a small fortune, we will have to raise the taxes again.. You are suggesting that my wife lose weight?! Of course not, my king. It's just that citizens are starting to revolt and I fear these streets will be filled with blood soon if we have to raise the taxes again. Over a fat woman?! Who is THE queen? I cannot believe what I am hearing! Has she become too big to guard? Is that what you will tell me next? Pardon me my king. I swore my life to protect you, I did not mean to step out of bounds. Tell me, is this a new candelabra? Was it a gift? Do not change the subject! You have spoken wrongly against my queen, maybe not wrongly, but it was surely offensive. How will I tell her? Who will I hire to help her get rid of the weight so she can fit in all her dresses again? This might be a bit drastic, but I could burn down every bakery in town. Surely she will begin losing weight if she cannot sneak out to eat sweets. Do not such thing! Perhaps let them know she cannot purchase from them because the king says. I will also have a talk with her to make a deal about this situation  Aye, as you wish. One last thing, now that this important issue is settled. The scouts in the bogs have informed us that the kingdom of Cruloz is currently marching towards us, they plan to siege the castle.
