A Forced Contract

"Princess Emilia, you really need to stop thinking too low of me. Do you really think I will bring a fake document for the King to sign? And that too in your presence? If I needed him to sign papers that would be beneficial to me, I would bring them when you are not around. After all, he trusts me implicitly."

As Clive walked by Emilia's side, he could not help but think that he would have to get the King to sign those papers urgently. As a matter of fact, he did need to get the papers for the change in succession signed. But King Delroy was in a slippery state. The man was lucid and sharp at times and emotional at others. 

If he took the papers to King Delroy at the time when he was in full possession of his senses, then it could very well mean a disaster for him.
