This is exactly how a ruler should be like. Enormous, swollen atop his throne, lost inside his own bulk and with more food around than even he can eat. And of course covered in the remains of his many feasts. Love it~

Thanks~ And so true. What would be the point of anyone having such obscene amounts of wealth and power, but not the appetite and hedonism to take advantage of it and the body to show it off?

Precisely. There's no one above them, none to appease, so they can let themselves go completely. Manners are for the lesser, and if a ruler can't indulge, who can?

No, such power and wealth needs to be abused and taken to ludicrous levels, to the point of decadence. This ruler here truly is a sexy specimen who deserves it all and more.

Indeed. Who needs to worry about walking when you can just call the palanquin, no need to worry about your own mobility when you can order servants to fulfill your every whim, no need to hold back your gluttony when the best chefs in your domain can always be kept at hand to replace everything you eat, no need to worry about ruining your expensive clothes when you have a crew of tailors always ready to take your new measurements, no need to even consider manners and appearance when everyone are required to respect you regardless.
