-1"Your liege! I'm happy to announce that the Royal Treasury is slowly filling up. The people's are content at the moment, even if the statesmen weren't able to improve your authority within the Empire."
"What's more important is that the Army has seen a great increase in numbers. The officers and soldiers alike are very confident of their skill and power. That's why the Marshal asked to come with me..."

The Advisor butts in for one last question.
"I wish to ask whether you would like to issue an Edict this year too, your Majesty."
A) "Nah."
B) "Sure!"
