King Tom sat on his throne chair with a poker look on his face.
"Cough…!" He coughed violently the next moment, but an attendant was close by as the young man diligently wiped the blood away from his mouth.
King Tom twisted his lips in distaste. As a King, he was supposed to enjoy life, everything was supposed to follow his whims and be as he hoped, the whole planet was supposed to listen to him and serve him so why this?
For the past year since he became King, he took advantage of his privileges and lived his most extravagant lifestyle. Now, he was suffering its consequences.
The doctors said that his sickness was caused due to too much sugar intake.
"How dare they not have a cure for my sickness?" He clenched his fists angrily. "They're squandering the money of the kingdom".
"They should not be paid!"
"They should all be sacked!"
"Their families should all be arrested and tortured!"
"They should all be flogged in the public until they find the perfect cure!"
