No, I don't think it is evil. [ Merlin said, probably a little too brightly. He was kind of tired of dancing between two extremes, which was his life most days.

And yes, it is a pain in my royal ass. Honestly, if there were someone worthy of the position, I'd be more than happy to give it away. [ This must have sounded very arrogant and it probably was. He didn't try to camouflage it as anything else. ] My brother went through quite a bit of noble blood to get me on the throne. Without asking if I wanted it or not. So my options in the end were to put my little brother on the throne, take it myself or be willingly assassinated. Good choices. What comes to assholes I would rather not deal with, I could have them removed from the picture. But some other asshole would climb to their place and sometimes with vengeance.

[ He gave a small shrug. ] Your job sounds like more fun to be honest.
