Write a story about the complex and dangerous politics of a royal court, where every word is a move in a deadly game.

Like A Game Of Chess

As king I have an important role to play. Every word I say could be used against me at some point in the future. I don’t know if I can trust all those around me. I don’t know who might betray me. One mistake and I could put my entire kingdom at risk. It’s like playing chess, knowing that whatever move you make your opponent might use that against you. I’m the king but it’s not just me the enemy wants, it’s everyone. My life is like a game of chess, a deadly, real life game of chess. The stakes are high, I can’t lose.
