#sometimes ur concubine sends an exorcism dance troop to your prime ministers residence just to start shit with his blatantly fake daughter

[silviakundera]

so do u think the emperor of The Double has just resigned himself at this point, to the irrefutable truth that his partner in nation building & court schemes is now spending 85% of his energy pondering & stalking a relatively attractive and talented noblewoman that his top scholar had married and then buried alive a few months ago.

and now said partner in crime just brings him exponentially unhinged plans of action that are OBVIOUSLY in service of his yearning for this lady, but that he's ready to defend with 45 minutes of rhetoric about how it's totally in the best interest of your majesty and the country.
