A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A crown arrived by post with no sender and no note, and I, its natural wearer, unveil it today before the portrait of me that the Senate wall refused. The frame holds a picture of a chair instead, four legs and no face. That is the headwear office's doing, and I have taken it as a compliment in the meantime.
Nigel Royal advisor
Headwear cannot approve a crown, and the postal service cannot make one lawful by leaving the sender blank. As for music, the chamberlain hummed once on a Tuesday and the Department of Tuesdays opened a file on it.

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