To Weather a Storm 2 (Ch.131)

~As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other~

-John Stuart Mill

'Since when did they start preparing for a mourning even before the death?' King Ragoth had thought in great amusement.

However this was not even as hilarious as the minister of justice who claimed his family had travelled to inspect his burial site and would only return after he was dead or miraculously cured of his long term illness.

What was the most amusing was that the minister of justice unlike the left prime minister was a middle aged man barely in his fifties!

It seemed these ministers were intent on spouting whatever excuses came to mind to ensure they could avoid the royal court.
