“I'm happy to hear anyone's problems with me. Don't worry about the bodies.”
Peter III of Russia stands before his royal court, with several human corpses hanging behind him from the rafters in his palace.
The emperor has survived a poisoning attempt, and the bodies belong to everyone known to have handled the food before the emperor ate it: the footman, the chef, the kitchen helpers, the farmer who grew the produce. Peter is shocked that someone out there might not love him.
His court, before such a display of the king’s wrath, cannot think of any problems worth mentioning.
