"Princess Isabella, the next is the first practical lesson I need to teach you..."
"I will take the initiative to plead guilty in the court... You don't need to know what the charges are, I'm just making up nonsense, and you will need to punish me, by docking my salary or demoting my position."
"Why? Well... Because this is balance."
"I am a powerful minister, with many officials and nobles who depend on me, while another group will lean towards... Let's call them the 'Conservative Noble Faction,' and my side can be the 'Yila Faction.'"
"My power is too great, so you must suppress me, and vice versa."
"And I will gladly accept your punishment in the court, thus everyone will realize that I am still on your side, and the royal authority will continue to increase."
"Don't understand? That's okay, any specific doubts? I will explain them to you slowly."
