Classic Castle: Queen Esmeralda talking to her ancient tree for guidance on serious matters about her kingdoms future (AFOL LEGO MOC nature vignette forest) Toy Hobby Photography

            Dear queen of the forest, my beloved deity and keeper of all my secrets...

I have something bothering me, and I know that you queen of the forest will listen your leaves will whisper advices to me with all of your arcane wisdom and Knowledge...

...anyhow, dear mother, dear life companion, I know that you already know as well as I do that my days are numbered, not only by age but also by the fact that my headaches and seizures are  getting more and more frequent, I do my best to hide it for anyone else, since I cannot trust anyone, well, except for you...

But that is not what is bothering me, I am ready to once more be absorbed by the earth-mother, I  might grow up a plant perhaps a small tree next to you so we can have interesting conversations every day and guard the forest and it´s life...

...But anyhow, what is bothering me is that I still haven´t gotten an orderly succession to my throne...

I know it is really selfish not to have these matters taken care off before I leave, but the thing is, how do I know that I get a successor that is not going nuts as the old mayor did or someone only interested in expanding the ink on maps as Henry was when he was king...

...also I would like to place more power in the hands of the common people, but ho do I do it when they are so uneducated, most can´t even read, but I am doing my best to educate them, but it will take generations before the education is firmly rooted in the society, also there are a great resistance to education among them, the see that as upperclass humbug to read won´t help them grow their crops at the field some say...

... so should I introduce a ruling class of learned people? the lords and bourgeoisie can read and some have studied history, botany and more, should I create the ancient Centaurs so called Democracy but only apply voting  rights to them but except for their misogynic no-vote-for-women?

...I know I have several years left, my mother lived for five year after her sickness had it´s first signs...

...or should I appoint a enlightened crown price or Princess as my successor?
But then what happens when he or she dies? ..and will they be strong enough to hold on to power with nasty sharks and piranhas whirling about in my court planning cunning plans and plotting...

...oh Dearest Goddess mother nature, why is my destiny to hold power when I rather would like to be a gardener? I long for my next life, just having my leaves playing in the wind, watching herbs grow and saplings root, flower blossom and butterflies fluttering by...

I am not afraid to die, I am afraid of what happens my people when I am gone...

Oh, Anyhow thank you for listening dear force of nature and thank you for you advice, I must start to organize my kingdom in  preparation for my passing!
