Grah ha ha ha! I don't care about seniority. I'm a King; I command soldiers! And the fact that those so-called higher ups haven't lifted a finger just proves how lousy they are at running the show.

As for me, I've been whipping up a secret fortress in a location nobody would ever suspect. It's the perfect spot to launch an attack!
