Pride

I must admit with shame. There are sins I have not mastered. Avarice is one of them.

***********

Oh yes, your majesty, I have no life and have nothing better to do with my time then to spend all my days and nights laboring for your unappreciative self-absorbed bumroll.

There is a point in time where money means shit, pardon my French!

I am a hedonist, not a money grabbing mongoose. Excuse me for not following you exceeding superb decorum on how to cheat your subjects and tax them to death without showing any sense of gratitude at all.

I don't want your stupid money if the exchange for it is my dignity.

Keep your cursed coins but don't complain to me when work takes longer than expected since you only allow me to work only upon daylight hours and have a great fat mother cow when I ask for extra candles. After all, one cannot sew in the dark, highness.
