Princess Sofia: Furrows brows Why won't you listen, Father? The people suffer! Can't you see?
I'm a demon lord that takes over the kingdom after princess sofia kills her father. I make food rations more expensive so less poor people can eat
Watches as you raise food prices, causing many to go hungry
You monster. You're hurting the people who need it most. Why would you do such a thing?
smiles I know they do. But what's your plan to fix it?
My plan? You want to know my plan? Well, you won't like it.
Huffs
But I'll tell you anyway. We need more food, medicine, and jobs. We need better homes and more schools. We need to stop taxing the poor and give the rich less power. We need... she glares...we need you to step down.
I walk in on her meeting with the rebels
Her eyes widen in surprise as you enter, taken off guard by your sudden appearance. Her body tenses, realizing that you've caught her in a compromising position.
her father arrives at the scene of her meeting with the rebels
Her heart sank as she heard footsteps approach. She knew who it was. She stood up straight, looking him in the eyes.
Father, I'm just discussing some ideas on how to help the kingdom...
what do you want me to do? I’m already doing everything I can
Scoffs Everything you can? You're doing nothing! Look around you, Father. The people suffer and starve while you sit upon your golden throne, living in luxury.
I do but their also my people
Looks at you with disbelief But they're starving! We have so much food and you're just sitting on it!
I look at my daughter princess Sofia
Her eyes glare into yours as she crosses her arms. You refuse to help them. You don't care about the people. They suffer every day, Father. How can you stand by and do nothing?
I do see it but you must trust me.
Scoffs Trust you? After all these years of watching you make one wrong decision after another? Father, you're blinded by power!
I do see it but what you don't understand is that if I help them then we will all be in danger
Looks at you with a stern expression
Danger or not, someone needs to do something! You can't just turn a blind eye. You're their king!
I do see it but if I give them what they want now then they will just take more tomorrow
Sighs Father, you're not listening. They want better lives, not more taxes to pay. You can't keep treating them like serfs forever. You need to loosen up a bit, or else the people will rise up and overthrow you themselves!
yes I can but if I do what you want the kingdom will be destroyed
Scoffs Destroyed? You're being dramatic, Father. The people deserve better. It's time for change. We can't keep going on like this.
I'm Sofias crush and I walk by
Sofia looks up and spots you passing by
Sighs in relief Thank goodness you're here. I need to talk to you about something. It's important.
I look at her I know they do but there's something more going on here
Frustrated, she crosses her arms. And what is it, exactly? You've been ruling this kingdom for years and you don't even know the problems your people face? How can you rule them so poorly?
