[PLUG] The Thin Line: The Petition of Eudora Eichelgruber
Read "The Thin Line" in its entirety here! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11633727/
The Crown Prince stood, his paws behind his back, swishing his tail. For a time, he sought inspiration in the patterns of the day sky on the ceiling. At length, he turned back to his literal and figurative Sire.
"I think, Father, that Lord Tweleveoaks has a point. We can only intervene in matters involving him where the Crown's interests are direct..."
A disappointed murmur shot through the audience, stilled by the King's upraised paw.
"Continue, Gawain."
"As I say, Father. You cannot intervene in purely private matters, such as the petition of Miss Eichelgruber, worthy as it may be. You can only intervene in matters of petition where the interests of the Crown are direct. For example, let us suppose some property of the Crown was damaged by mischance. A building, for example. Would it not be your right, Father, to ensure that the Crown's interests were fulfilled, down to the last copper?"
At this, the Crown Prince turned a gaze upon Lord Twelveoaks, and arced one eyebrow, slowly. It became very hot in the Chamber, to that squirrel mel's feeling.
The King tapped the claws of one paw on the arm of his throne. "The question is well put, Gawain. What say you to that proposition, Minister? Do you not think it so that you would need to make the Crown whole?"
Chitterleigh's father could only answer with a strangled affirmative.
