I was presented with my choices by the Royal Adviser. After studying them for a moment, I looked at him.
"Adviser, help me understand something."
"Of course, your majesty!"
"Well, I have 5 options here, yes?"
"Yes indeed your majesty, quite plentiful!"
"Except doing nothing and waiting for further developments are the same thing, and invading either of our neighbouring kingdoms is clearly suicidal."
"Masterfully spotted, your majesty!"
"So essentially I can do nothing, or pay for spies under your direct employ and control, in such a way as to not allow for oversight?"
I sipped my poisoned wine, stupidly.
