Litten whispers to his honor guard who scratched their head before whispering back
Augustin turns to Ash, head tilted in faux ambivalence. He flourishes with his hand.

“That was a gladiator match - it’s expected that people bet on the outcome. Most of the treasury I cannot touch without approval by the council. It’s expected that there are going to times when we need to spend money to avoid a disaster, or times when we need to spend money in order to improve the quality of life - which council has the say in.”
“I don’t know the broader impacts of the printing press, but I do know that we should be focusing on the majority of people. The majority of the people have to face:

Augustin bows to the king.
“If I may speak, your majesty?”
“You may, you don’t need to ask for permission to speak during a council meeting. I am here simply to supervise and offer my (unsolicited) opinion on the matters brought up here.”
“I am quite wise to the stir that such an invention would cause were it to be made public. Not to mention the resource costs of getting all of the parchment to print on”
“Also, the commoners are illiterate. Why would they ever buy one of these anyway?”

“I don’t have the time to operate a printing business, though I have a royal library filled with some books that I think would be good to print…

and books that document our rich history”

(Me and squirell were actually talking about books prior to this, which I’m going to use as justification for my honor guard knowing this stuff because obviously if I was talking about books I know the future subjects and would be prepared)
