Throne Room King Raden's P.O.V.
I sit in my uncomfortable throne listening to Duke Kruto, Lord of Durendall, ramble on about port fees. He wants to raise fees for foreign merchants, which I am fine with, but he is taking his time getting to what is in it for me. I have to let him talk my ear off because he is one of my biggest backers and he knows it.
In fact I bet this long winded speech is simply to remind me that I owe him. If I could figure out a way I would get rid of him, Quill could kill him for me but then his idiot son would inherit. Maybe I should have Quill kill the whole family, then I could appoint someone to the title, someone loyal to me.
Yes that should work, I will have to discuss it with Quill after court is done. For now it seems Kruto is coming to the end of his speech, ahh so he is going to offer me troops for the army. That can work, of course he knew that before he showed up to court.
