I know of no king that has ever wanted a break, and I should know because I mix in such circles. On the contrary, kings' power tends to unravel on the back of an inability to maintain his ambitions at an agreeable level; more often than not, he loses his head or is forced to abdicate. So, there's the trick, can you strike a balance between total authority and maintaining an agreeable relationship where you and your woman have their needs satisfied?
