Jack of Harts

The king was no fool. I had pulled bodyguards for both him and his son. Assorted family members. A family home. The royal yacht. I had gone to a great deal of effort to recreate a small part of their world for them. And I had not pulled the commander of the royal guardsmen. The king was no fool, and he asked me why. I claimed it was because I was running short of system resources. It had the advantage of being accurate, and I even showed him the proof of how close my system was running to its rated maximum. But he knew as well as I that I could have pushed the limit if I needed to. And so he was not surprised when I told him who the traitor was. He did not hesitate when it came time to face the man he knew so well and not at all. The king was no fool.
