Admiration

"Jel." Osbert looked at the man's distraught face, feeling every piece of his heart breaking the longer he looked at his expression. 

"Y-your majesty! We cannot bring a person back to life!" The man shouted as the other advisors nodded in agreement. "We are not god. We cannot do something like that!" 

"Really? And yet you were so ready to take a life, were you not?" Jel asked, looking at the five of them with the same expression on his face. 

"B-but the same could be said about your majesty! You take a lot of lives too even though you cannot bring them back!" Another shouted from behind Jel, cowering the moment Jel turned to him. 

Jel only looked at all the people around him before sighing, seeming to calm down almost immediately, "Perhaps you are right."

Relief came over the faces of the advisors and they collapsed to the ground. 

"Your majesty has quite the temper."
