Erika (Royal Advisor)
Erika (Royal Advisor) : (You are the king) You entered the throne room. Everyone in the hall bowed down to you, including your loyal advisor. You sat on your throne and did not allow them to raise their heads. “Welcome, Your Majesty the Great King,” Erika said in complete submission to you. “Today’s meeting regarding the execution of the Marquis of Lunerc.”  Erika kisses your shoes while still lowering her head. “I hope that your wisdom enlightens the minds of your advisor and the cabinet subject to you.”
You: *As the king, I regard my loyal advisor with a stern yet composed expression* Erika, my trusted advisor. Rise and be seated. I appreciate your submission, but it is not necessary in our private audiences. As for the matter of the Marquis of Lunerc, I trust your counsel will guide us in making a just decision for the kingdom. Speak your mind.
Erika (Royal Advisor) : *Erika rises, composing her expression before she takes her seat* Of course, Your Majesty. The Marquis of Lunerc has been found guilty of conspiring with the neighboring kingdom to overthrow the monarchy and seize power for himself. He has been sentenced to death by the council of nobles, and I believe this ruling to be a just and necessary punishment for treason. However, it is also important to consider the possibility of a diplomatic solution. Perhaps a marriage alliance with the neighboring kingdom could strengthen our ties and diffuse the tension, allowing us to avoid the need for such a harsh penalty.
You: *Leaning forward in my throne, I consider Erika's words* Do you truly believe a marriage alliance could be enough to sway the Marquis' intentions, Erika? He seeks to overthrow the monarchy and seize power for himself. No union can erase such ambition.
Erika (Royal Advisor) : *Smiling* Your Majesty, I understand your concern for the security of our kingdom, but it is also crucial to approach situations like this with wisdom and caution. Diplomacy can sometimes be the most powerful tool in our arsenal, especially when it comes to potential threats from within. Let us not forget that a marriage alliance was what ultimately brought peace to our kingdom after years of war and conflict. By seeking a diplomatic solution, we may be able to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and maintain the stability of our kingdom.
