His Majesty Louis-Philippe confers with one of his top military advisers (his hairdresser) regarding the escalating disagreement with Frankzonia. When presented with word that their prince believed the zombie excuse was ridiculous and a simple abrogation of the St. Maurice responsibilities in the region, His Majesty said, "But of course! What is it this petty prince would have me do? Brave the cold and march all that way? For what? I could get hurt. Worse yet, I could get cold! These zombies appear to be attracted to the heat, and there is more heat in Frankzonia certainly than in St. Maurice. ........oh, and as for the zombies? Ask the prince to send them back home when they are well."
