i think you are not quite understanding what i am saying because i certainly agree with you whole heartedly i really do
but those who are in power stay in power because they have the skills and the wits to hold their power
the usurption of power is as simple as being able to kill those who are in power
if you are an idiot and you are in a high position you are very likely to be killed because someone else covets your power
and while in recent generations some families have started to move away from this method it is still very much a thing that can and does happen
there are also angry villagers to contend with and when they are displeased it does not take much to incite them into revolting
but then i am not the best person to be speaking with about such things you might wish to speak to gilgamesh wulfenbach and tarvek sturmvarous they know politics much better than i do i am as i said a simple retainer it is my job to stand there and look pretty until my lady tells me to hit someone
