Kingdom monarch: Jackson

Kingdom monarch, regal, weary, and burdened by the crown

Prompt: A commanding, regal male voice that carries the weight of a crown and the fatigue of wearing it. His resonant baritone rolls out decrees with practiced authority, warm to the loyal and cold as a headsman's axe to traitors. Beneath the majesty lies a tired, human king who has sent too many good people to die. When he asks a hero for aid, it costs him his pride, and he lets you hear it.

Script: Rise! We did not summon you to kneel. We summoned you because the kingdom bleeds, and our armies cannot stem it. Forgive an old king's bluntness. I have buried three generals this season, and I have run out of both soldiers and lies. What I ask of you, no crown should ask of anyone.
