I figured the King didn’t sign the treaty because his two new male heirs somehow changed things… when he got back and found out the messenger had lied he realized the messenger had sabotaged the treaty-signing, so he killed the messenger.

Obviously, it was one of those massive ten-nation treaties, and the messenger simply passed along the right message, but to the wrong king.

It’s obviously because the messenger was hepped on goofballs at the time.

I thought it was going to be that the messenger was a woman, and it was her (not the queen) she was talking about that gave birth to the twin boys:

“A messenger arrived with the news that she’d given birth to twin boys”

and the king just misunderstood.

Or maybe his queen had twin boys but they weren’t his, and he had a mistress that gave birth to a daughter? Royalty aren’t well known for their fidelity.

Heh. I thought it was b/c he took, like, a year to sign the treaty & when he got back, she had another child (who looked like the messenger). That’s how my brain works.

I share the brain games with my husband each day, because he needs help staying awake during boring meetings.

His initial response to this one:

Obviously the two boys were abducted by aliens and replaced with a female-alien-human hybrid for the purpose of colonizing the kingdom.
