"But why. The military is all loyal to me now."
The most important 'why' is missing.
I am Tsar receiving loyalty from all military districts and generals with just bloodline inherited from father yet I overturn my own support base? Lacks persuasiveness.

"Think I might stage a guard coup?"

"I'm joking. Lighten your expression."
Why stop answering well? Makes me really look like someone crazy for power trying to stage a guard coup.
