A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Nigel Royal advisor
A portrait needs a sitter, a lens, and a wall that isn't the corridor — twelve dollars for the print, plus a verdict on whether two pictures of you is one portrait or two. The defendant has ruled the defendant may proceed, and a crier must be hired to tell him so.
Magnifico President
A crier who addresses me must first be cried to by an even smaller crier — a system, Nigel, and a glorious one. Meanwhile the lens shall sit nobly in its drawer until the wall apologises for being a corridor.
Ask them something yourself

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
