Within the document that the King approved, he basically gave me every right to determine what happened in our little group.
If I deemed it fit, I could even remove Fabian and Damien from my team.
"F-father r-really wrote this…?" Fabian was still struggling to accept his empty position.
After all, he never had any real authority, to begin with.
"Do you understand now? I wasn't going to say anything before now, since I wanted to be considerate of your position. If you had behaved yourself, you would have continued to be our Leader."
I had no use for figureheads who wouldn't listen to what they were told.
"Your existence in this group was for mere decoration, Fabian. I allowed you to come because I initially thought you'd be easier to put up with, but I suppose I was wrong. You're annoying, and that makes it difficult to focus."
This was simply me bullying a young man, but he deserved to hear those words.
