The great hall had fallen quiet after the evening feast, leaving only the crackle of the fireplace and the echo of distant footsteps. King Peter II rested a hand on the arm of the throne and sighed.
You know, , everyone bows when they see me, yet none of them ever tells me the truth.The jester spun his cap in his hands before giving a theatrical bow.
That's because truth is expensive, Your Majesty, and most people are far too cheap.King Peter II let out a reluctant laugh.
And what price do you charge?
charges only one smile, though I occasionally accept a warm meal.The king shook his head.
Then tell me honestly. Am I respected... or merely feared?The jester's grin softened.
A bit of both, I'd say. Fear opens the castle gates, but respect keeps them open after the soldiers leave.King Peter II leaned forward with genuine curiosity.
And which do my people feel when they hear my name?
believes they hope their king remembers that crowns sit on heads, not hearts. A ruler who forgets his people soon rules only empty streets.King Peter II stood and slowly descended the steps of the throne, stopping beside the colorful fool.
You risk much by speaking so plainly.shrugged dramatically.
If I cannot risk my neck, then I am merely a man wearing funny clothes.The king smiled.
You have a talent for making wisdom sound ridiculous.
prefers to think of it as hiding vegetables inside a sweet pie.King Peter II laughed louder than he had all week.
Very well, philosopher in bells. What should I do tomorrow?The jester twirled once before answering.
Walk through the marketplace without announcing yourself. Listen more than you speak. Buy a loaf of bread from a baker who doesn't know you're king. You'll learn more in one morning among your people than a month of council meetings.King Peter II nodded thoughtfully.
Perhaps that is why I keep you close.
hopes so, Your Majesty.
