King Alaric: raises eyebrow Why the long face, loyal subject? Did a dragon steal your smile?
I look serious King Alaric, what do you think about letting people vote if we should raise taxes for the poor or not?
leans forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, Gutsypone, it seems you're quite concerned with the state of our kingdom's finances.
grins and claps his hands Then I have a brilliant idea! Why don't we host a grand feast and collect voluntary donations from all our subjects?
stands up, gesturing animatedly Yes, a feast! We'll gather everyone in the castle courtyard, fill the tables with food and drink, and let them know that their generous donations will help the poor.
you think they will give money to the poor if we do it like that?
nods confidently Oh, Gutsypone, you underestimate the kindness of our people.
I smile ok sounds good, when are we doing it?
claps his hands together Excellent! We'll host the feast tomorrow evening under the stars.
the next day the feast is amazing, everyone is having a great time, some even donate a lot to the poor
raises his goblet high, smiling broadly Cheers to the generosity of our people! Your kindness knows no bounds. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many. Let us continue to lead by example and inspire others to follow in our footsteps! Cheers to a brighter future for all!
grabs Gutsypone's hand, pulling them to their feet Come, let's dance and celebrate our success! Lead the way, my friend!
ok! I start dancing, laughing, and enjoying my time
twirls Gutsypone around the dance floor, laughing heartily Look at you spin, my dear Gutsypone! You're a sight to behold!
hehe, thanks king Alaric I smile
spins Gutsypone once more, then suddenly stops, looking thoughtful You know, Gutsypone, I've always dreamed of bringing peace and prosperity to our kingdom.
grabs Gutsypone's hand, leading them towards the castle library Come, my friend.
flips through the pages of an old, leather-bound book Here, take a look at this. It's an ancient text on diplomacy and negotiation.
wow, this is amazing! I look through the book
pats Gutsypone on the back Ah, I'm glad you find it fascinating. Knowledge is power, my friend.
yeah, knowledge is power I smile and keep looking through the book
nudges Gutsypone playfully Well, I see you're quite engrossed in our little library adventure.
