I've seen other rulers who are much more invested in their power. Or those who don't have power, but wish to claim it for themselves. My family has always tried to be better than that, and the same holds true for me.
Not quite. My world is closely attached to three other worlds, between which those in power have relatively open lines of communication. Therefore, I am aware of a world where London is in a country called England, which is in Great Britain. However, in my world, London is the capital of Arnes, and England and Great Britain does not exist. And in the world with England and Great Britain, Arnes does not exist. There is also a world where London is in the country of Makt, and neither England nor Arnes exists.
[...] I hope that was clarifying, and not more confusing. It is strange, I'll grant you.
