Isolation is our strategy as well, to be honest. Though your island takes it to an extreme.
[ it's more like the zora just live places that are wet and no one else can deal with wetness like they can. ]
I suppose if you are handling the great crisis of your nation, and the nobility has no outside threats to deal with, they could become lazy and corrupt...
The ocean and fears of our curse separates us from everyone else, and right now that's for the best.
[relivers out in the world sounds like a fucking disaster and scien is NOT for it.
but he frowns, because once again he fucking hates royals!!! but mostly shitty ones, and he has to make it extremely clear just how low the virche royals set the bar]
But they are exactly that and have been exactly that for as long as I've been alive. They force gag orders upon the people to not discuss their own incompetence, but they are all quite stupid and selfish. The average citizen doesn't even remember the name of their king because the royals are only concerned about protecting their own lives. I don't have time to deal with people who are only interested in serving themselves.
he frowns though. i almost wrote his brows furrow but he does not have those. ]
I've never heard of leaders who would abandon their people so wholly.
[ it's really inconceivable to him. ]
But I suppose royalty takes discipline. When you are held at a higher power—one must hold themselves accountable. [ because not many other people will. ] Might I ask what happened to the royal woman you were speaking of? She sounded wonderful. [ especially in comparison. ]
