A peasant caught stealing bread pleads for mercy while a merchant demands punishment. Duchess Alice defends compassion; Count Robert upholds order.

  1. The King Let us begin. Duchess Alice, what say you?

  2. Duchess Alice Politics — Dream of Mystery. A massive feast is being planned at court while citizens starve.

  3. The King A feast while my people hunger... I had not considered the contrast. That image cuts deeper than any legal argument could.

  4. The king leans toward Duchess Alice +1.

  5. Count Robert customs are important sire, and what are the most important customs other than our laws?

  6. The King You speak to something I learned the hard way, Robert. Customs are not mere habits—they are the sinew holding this kingdom together. I have seen what happens when a ruler discards them carelessly.

  7. The king leans toward Count Robert +1.
