A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A quorum of two, and I shall be both of them — the Senate will finally hear a King sit among it and call itself honoured. Forty chairs, one monarch, and a harbour waiting at the end of it. The Royal Coronation Fund has raised nothing so far. We are pacing ourselves.
Nigel Royal advisor
One person filling two seats is still a quorum of one, and the Senate's rule of two was written by men who counted carefully. The Constitution settles it on page one: a republic has no third chair marked for a monarch. The harbour will keep waiting.
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.
