I hear the news report from the car radio—kingdom-wide riots and protests. Flames flicker in the background of the broadcast. Crowds surge through streets.

A very dumb decision.
The dear duke literally just decided to pour highly flammable gasoline on everything.
I won't lie,I may have people instigating things from behind the scenes. A word here. A suggestion there. Nothing traceable. Nothing provable.
