The Rebel King

Author's Note

In addition to abolishing by royal decree the restrictions of gender on the laws of primogeniture governing inheritance of property and titles, in the first year of his reign, King Nikolas the First established Sihershire's first democratically elected parliament. He also appointed a special committee to draft a new constitution for the country, to include articles providing for the future of the monarchy. Popular opinion being in favor of retaining Silvershire's monarchy as a cherished part of its history and traditions, provisions are being considered whereby future rulers may be chosen or deposed according to the will of the people.
