My liege, Iβve been reviewing some of the royal funding and budgetary records, and a few things have come to my attention. Now, I understand that we have surplus funding in the royal vault as a result of your prophecy, which, if you recall, states that βyou will die by a blade not intended for battle, but one that will find itβs way to you in a moment of joyβ. I stand by it being a wise decision to keep you away from any activities such as woodworking or cooking, and that the money that would have gone into funding those activities was yours to allocate as you wished, but I suspect Iβve found some errors on the records. Firstly, we have two categories of payments going to the soothsayer; one for living expenses, and one, as I have just discovered, labeled βpropheciesβ. I suspect that- I beg your pardon my liege? We pay for the prophecies? Why on earth- Weβre paying them to not deliver us prophecies, thatβs why they live out on the far end of the woods. This doesnβt- Tradition? I understand itβs a tradition my liege, but if we are paying for it to be inconvenient to deliver prophecies, and then paying for the prophecies themselves- Is that why your sister wished to go to the soothsayer in person rather than wait for a letter? She was aware of this? And the rest of your sisters too? My liege, surely you see that it undermines our efforts in preventing prophecies to pay for them. At the very least, one of the payments should be discontinued to improve our financial status. Youβre right my liege, this is a very complex discussion that requires more time to process, and I shall βshut up about the soothsayerβ as you so eloquently put it. We will be discussing this later. The other issue I came to inquire about was that within the records for the entertainment budget, each performance is listed by name. I once again would like to reiterate that the extra funding for entertainment, while not aligning with my recommendations, is reasonable given the circumstances of your prophecy. However, once again with considerations to your prophecy, βPablo the Knife-Jugglerβ,
