If they see citizens and guards, many of whom are innocent, executed, they may have a reaction we do not want. And well, that would perpetuate a cycle of death that gets us nothing but fewer taxpayers" "AM I NOT THE KING?" His voice rings out. "Those who refuse to ackowledge that fact should be met with swift retribution. Execute them and we shall hear no more talk of dissent from the peasants. Fear will keep them in line, and Gondor shall remain strong.  "It will be as you will it. In the meantime however I would like to request permission for an expedition south." "And what would be the purpose of such an expedition?" "As you're aware, we have taken Umbar. But we have long suspected the royal family themselves escaped, ad the colonies are still at large. Recently contacts of mine in the Haradic merchant city of Salumn believe the local nobles are harboring them. I plan, with any possible members of the fleet, to sail south along the Haradic coast and attack and burn Salumn in a fast and furious attack. It'll be a blow to Umbaran revolutionary morale, a boost to ours, certainly help with expenses, possibly take out the royal family, and best of all, it requires no extra funding from the treasury." Aragost nods. "Let it be so. Oversee the preparations, High Admiral." "With your permission, I would also like to lead the expedition myself." "Of course. I shall assign you my best navigators and captains to aid you." His smile returns at the thought. "You are truly gracious my king." He bows and makes his way out.
