"Is this an ingrained issue with authority, or a new thing?" Morgana asked cautiously, concerned that Karl's anger might be the start of a bestial rage.
"It's not really an issue with authority. I mean, Overlord Drake, and every one of the Princes that I've met so far have all been solid and intelligent leaders. Some of the others, not so much. I've always had issues with stupid people and the 'give head to get ahead' crowd." Karl replied with a shrug.
Morgana choked on her coffee. "The what now?"
"Oh, sorry. I guess that bit of slang isn't universal. It means the ones who suck up to the leadership to get better positions, raises and perks. The sort of pencil pushers who always know better than you, even if they've never done your job, and are happy to go whine to their superiors if they don't think that they're getting the respect they demand." Karl explained.
