[ WP ] You are an aristocrat 's lead cook . As you are preparing banquet for some guests , you receive a neatly folded letter ...

`` It is time,'' the note said. Knowingly he tucked the note away and prepared the food, except this time, adding a certain, special ingredient. With a smile on his face, he watched his waiter set the plate in front of the sleazy, old king. This man had always degraded him, now it was his turn. He watched the whole time as the king ate, waiting for the moment that the poison would take hold. 
 Soon, in the mist of eating, the old man's face contorted, he started gagging, and soon he frothed at the mouth. His family looked on in horror, no one knowing what to do; dishes clattered and broke upon the floor as some ran to comfort the king in his last moments. 
 As the last breath left his measly body, the dining hall doors burst open, and soldiers rushed in. Before realizing what was really going on, the family and their help were cut down by the men, only the wife and a couple maids had enough time to scream. Everyone that was in the kitchen ran, but the cook stayed back. 
 The leader of the pack turned, `` ALL CLEAR, SIRE!'' Another man walked through the door, a smile upon his lips. `` Good job, men,'' he said, `` now if someone could just find the lead cook....'' Taking that as his queue, the somewhat plump cook stepped out of the kitchen, `` here, my lord!'' The noble received him enthusiastically. `` There you are. You have done a great deed today!'' `` My pleasure, my liege,'' the cook retorted, bowing to his new master. They sat down at the table and exchanged a few pleasantries, before the new king stood up and beckoned him to follow. The soldiers had taken up a position by the door, and as the cook went to walk out behind the aristocrat, lost in thought, he felt as sharp pain in his gut. 
 Shocked, he looked down to find a sword there, the aristocrat turned and smiled mockingly at him, `` You did n't think that you would be *my* cook, did you? I have to have someone to blame for the king's death you know.'' At that, a second sword stabbed through him lower jaw and ended his life. Many of his staff and he were blamed for the murder of the old king, while the noble and his men were portrayed as the saviors of the kingdom and as the rightful heir, the aristocrat took the throne.
