‘Why,’ asked King Chana, ‘must we fight another war?’
Chief Minister Dal looked up, ‘the coffers are running low, sire.’
the king thrummed his fingers within the glossy gold gauntlets, ‘but we’ve just conquered two other kingdoms! Where have those spoils gone?’
The minister looked askance at the new golden armour and throne, at his liege moving uncomfortably within.
‘Where, indeed.’
