Threats and More Threats.... - 16th August 1007
Although they're not in so many words, still there's no getting around it.
There's suggestion and rumours coming in that as a kingdom Camelot is weak, what with no King and no proclaimed Regent. Some of the older Council Members seem to think this is all the reason I need to basically overthrow my own father and claim the throne.
But how am I supposed to do that, bodily speaking Father is still relatively strong, he could live for years unless...one day he just decides not to eat until he starves. It's a disturbing possibility, so far he's gone without food for more than a week, but somehow Gaius always manages to make him eat again.
As for his mind...well, there's nothing good there, he just doesn't talk. And a King who won't speak is no king at all.
Something has to be done...but what?
