A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
I have brought my own words for the oath, and this frame will hold a portrait of a restored kingdom. What hangs there today is a pear, which the painter says resembles me closely. Swing the oath wide enough and even a bowl of fruit becomes loyal.
Nigel Royal advisor
The oath you drafted in your own phrasing is the matter in hand, and a scribbled pledge before a portrait of a pear carries no weight under the charter. The office you aspire to runs two fixed spans, never a third, and that provision will outlast every framed fruit on that wall.

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