A king's subjects must lead their lives in fear and respect of the monarch and his laws. The two givens in the life of the city are the severity of the law and the sureness of punishment. And the King thinks that kingship means neverending vengeance against enemies and neverending vigilanceagainst challenges and threats. A king's subjects face the denial of all rights, privileges and honors in life and death if they dare to disagree, disappoint or disrespect the monarchy. The enmities and hatreds of a lifetime carry on in the mistreatment of the dead and of all succeeding generations.
