“We have no choice.”

“There is always another choice Grand Master!”

“We are running low on food, and land, and crops. It’s the only other option!”

“Silence! I have made my decision. We will hold the annual hunger games, twice a year. The age range will be 10-19 years of age. Two boys and two girls will enter the games, fifty people in total. The boys chosen have to be dating and in love with the girls chosen. When it comes down to it, the girls have to die. We can’t have them continually reproducing like animals. The kingdom will never survive. We will have two victors. The only rule with the victors is they have to be a couple consisting of one male and one female. As their reward they get to live their life in peace, and have two children if they wish. Other than that, I forbid anyone in the kingdom from having children. If there is a woman currently past 36 weeks pregnant she may give birth to the child. If the woman is less than 36 weeks pregnant they shall not be allowed to bare the baby. Once she gives birth, drown it.”
