The building was loud and hectic. several secretaries and office workers ran from office to office, dropping important documents, making important phone calls, and scrambling to control the political damage. On the first floor, the large wooden door open, and all five royal councilors walk in--the room goes silent. The councilors walk up the staircase to the second floor. The sound of the cold, hard marble floor echoes through the building. The doors to the councilor's hall open and close with a loud thud--signaling the beginning of a historic moment.
The councilors enter the large hall. It is warm, and unorganized thanks to the turmoil from the past few days. At the center of the round desk and sits all of the councilors, is the golden throne of the king. His Majesty himself sits on the chair, hands crossed, and a look of confusion, anger and disappointment. The councilors sit and wait for the king to speak.
Romulo: "My dear councilors..... as you may know with recent developments, my reign is at risk. Such is the will of the people no? Alas we stand at the faults of our system: the desperate attempts to gain power. I understand that you all in front of you a recommendation to do just that.
Please, discuss.
Formoselle: As speaker of this council, I do believe that some of us have concerns... with the ideology itself. I, for one, believe that we should have more legislative power--for efficiency of course. I think if we delegate powers we--
Do you not think this council is efficient? High Councilor?
Well--I do think--um..
Enough said. Does anybody else in this council believe it is inefficient?
Silence....
Ibarra: Majestad, as your humble servant that is responsible for the Royal Treasury and the national economy, I do believe that this council is as efficient as can be. I do not think sending power to the court will improve the standing of the nation. I for one reject these ideological battles and believe the status quo is what works best for this nation.
More silence... waiting for the next councilor to speak.
Montalivet: Majestad, the military and our industrial sectors have seen massive success from this government the way it currently is. Our productivity in the Duchy of Yadraz is successful. We see no interest in changing.
Mondragon: Majestad, I am your humble servant. As the representative from Caille, I am deeply disappointed by the actions of the PPC. I understand these grievances go far beyond our times--it is historical. It is best I retire early and hand in my resignation, Majestad.
No, Veronica. I need you here for your final two years. Your service and loyalty is recognized.
The councilors and king look to the final councilor.
Cascabel: Majestad, while I appreciate the efforts done by this council, I do agree with Formoselle that this council can be more-
Enough. Through the power vested in me by Our Lord and by the People of the Kingdom, High Councilor Formoselle, Royal Councilor Cascabel, as your king, I declare you relieved of your duties. Per the law of succession established by King Amadeo, your eldest heir is eligible for your position on this council.
Thank you to those who have shown your loyalty. Leave this chamber at once, Formoselle and Cascabel.
They walk out of the chamber.....
For you here, your presence is requested at the Royal Court. I take my leave.
