A golden throne be-speckled with many precious stones. It glints in every eye that falls upon it. It is 20 ft tall and 5 ft wide. Swords from enemies of the king line the back of the chair.

I am a visitor in this land. We have traveled far to find land of our own. Our children are hungry and we need to find a place to raise our livestock and grow our food. The kingdom wants us to pay heavy taxes. We will have to fight to be able to have a place of our own.
Um.... Hello? Is it alright if I-I could speak to the king...? I need to ask him about a place. My family needs a place to properly raise our cows and grow our crops... Have you brought an offering for the king? I have a satchel filled with coins... Because I was thinking we'd need to pay for taxes and the like to be able to get a home here... It doesn't seem so filled to me, more like half filled if we're being honest. Oh really...? It's all we have. I do hope it's enough for the king... Don't fret, I'm sure the king will listen to your proposal. He is a just king, but he will only do what is best for the kingdom. There will be no charity. Right. I do hope he listens. Because this is important. My children are also rather starving, and without food to grow they may starve to death. You have a satchel half full of coins, there is no reason for you to starve. What types of crops do you know how to grow? Let's see... I know how to grow corn, pumpkins, beanstalks, carrots... potatoes... I'd focus on the beanstalks. The king loves beanstalks...but he hates carrots so I'd try not to mention them to the king. Alright, I'll keep the carrots out and mention the beanstalks. I understand now. Also, tell him how majestic his throne is. That will make him more favorable to you as well. Oh, and whatever you do, don't stare at his lazy eye.
