Haha, government efficiency at its finest. You appoint yourself as judge, order yourself that before you can take office you have to take an oath, which you tell yourself in verbatim, then upon promulgation of the decree, you swear the oath you've been told (by yourself) to swear!

[Altea Lomax]

I cannot in good conscience appoint someone who is not prepared to swear fealty to Your Majesty. Even if that someone is myself.

[Noor bint Daniyal]

You're a fine seneschal, and you'll make a fine march low judge!

[Altea Lomax]

Thank you, Your Majesty.
