[ he may as well use this damn network for research. ]

If you were to take loyalties to a king, what kind of king would you want them to be? Would you think better if they were harsh or if they were wise? What sort of person would you lend your allegiances too?

[ It's a general topic. he's curious to hear the opinions of people around him. he seems less rigid than when he first arrived. the break from all the battles has done well on him. he's not uneasy and robb speaks with a warm confidence. ]

This is second time you make fool of me by using words that my world is not familiar with. We had neither 'panties' or prime ministers in Westeros.

I'm not even making a fool of you. And a Prime Minister is a leader who is indirectly elected by the people of the nation he rules.

Elected by the people? [ DEMOCRACY IS SUCH A FOREIGN CONCEPT. oh my god. ]

The people are to decide who rules them? [ sounding so CONFUSED. ]

That's the easy way to put it. Most governments in the world work that way.

They let both criminal and common street urchin take place in politics?

You have to be twenty-one years old to vote in my country. I don't think people in prison are allowed to vote for a Prime Minister either. But other than that, everyone else can vote.

[ he's so baffled by this. ]

But why the leave a choice that important to people who do not better? If it is up to people who decide who reigns, do they also name the King's hand?

What is a king's hand and I'll answer that.

They aid the king in his actions. Do your rules not find themselves with council?

I guess they have everyone else? I mean, these people are elected into their position so they have to listen to what the citizens want or else they won't get elected again.

[ Westeros would pretty much go to shit, in the face of democracy. ]

But what if the leader bribes the people with promise or coin?

If he uses a promise and doesn't follow through with it, he won't get elected next time. I guess by coin, you mean lower taxes and things like that. That's actually a pretty common promise.

Aye, something of that sort. Your cultures are so strange. You give each other so much freedoms without the worry that people will not abuse them. That is the sort of thing so unheard of.
