Check-List

I had, for many years, been the most trusted adviser to Her Majesty, and had managed to keep her more aggressive tendencies at bay with my mental check-list of ways to distract her. But after a year of unexpectedly heavy rains had ruined crops, she began to listen to others more.


This came to a head when I found out she'd ordered an invasion of a neighbouring Kingdom. I confronted her, and she handed me a document stolen from the enemy showing all the laws they had in war.


I then explained the translation was actually "the laws they'd suspend"...
