Guiding the Powerful Yet Incompetent, Tuesday, Second Period

[tellmehowstuffworks]

"One of you actually already hit upon this week's topic last week," Yennefer said. "Which is just going to make things more difficult for her this week, so, good luck. You see, it seems that the king has realized he needs some more, mm, realistic scenes of heroism and bravery for those tapestries he's planning, plus a good conquest is always good for the coffers, so he's decided to invade the neighboring kingdom of Nilfgaard--backwater peasants, religious extremists, nothing to worry about." Yet.

"Of course, people do tend to die in wars, and wars that you lose tend to be rather costly, and there are credible reports Nilfgaard is building up their military. So for Melitele's sake, talk him out of it."

"Nilfgaard?" Lana pretended to think about it, then hummed and narrowed her eyes. "They've been increasing their military lately, and I've been looking into it. After all, it's not something they'd have the resources for on their own. I hesitate to suggest it, your majesty, but rumors suggest one or more of your nobles may be funding them. Nothing more than rumors at the moment of course, but we'd best find out before making a move. Otherwise, you might be fighting a war on multiple fronts."

Her entire kingdom was going to end up in flames before this class was over.
