A better kingdom, for him, when the malcontents are removed or get the dungeon. At least Spook would have company.

Sounds like the current FBI. While you’re at it, see if you can stir up some trouble,

“Eavesdropping is the unauthorized real-time interception of a private communication, such as a phone call, instant message, videoconference or fax transmission. The term eavesdrop derives from the practice of actually standing under the eaves of a house, listening to conversations inside.”

Is it too much to hope that the peasants will give accurate complaints and grievances, but false names and addresses? After all, they know the Fink pretty well.

Better by disposing of the complainers.
