A is taxing to the Spymaster.
B is taxing on the Military.
D is never an option.
I need to see what King Litten can come up with first. If it is better than A and B, then I shall immediately vote that option.

“Yes?”
Augustin comes back into the room and reads off of a sheet of parchment he did not have before.
“If I may speak, my lieges, my foreign affairs advisor humbly suggests that remind the populace that spying is considered treason and warrants the death penalty. She also suggests we publicly provide small rewards to anyone whose confessions turn in a genuine spy, much less than the proposed reward in Option A.”
He puts the paper away.
“I believe I may be out of by depth here, my lieges.”
