Weath is Power

[diamondking]

Of all the kings, I think King Francis really kills it, and puts the others to shame. His favorite saying, "Wealth is Power". He purchases weapons, armors, war-techs and ships using the kingdom's money. They are filthy rich.

He believes that, "if it exists, it can be bought" Even things without a price-tag, he buys. If he needs something done, he pays someone to do it. If his people are unhappy, he buys them happiness. This is why no one is said to be unhappy in his kingdom. Worse comes to worse, he buys the persons silence.

He manages his kingdom's finances in such a way that it grows exponentially each passing day. This was easy. He had the power to turn trees and soil into diamonds. This was his special gift. Thus, he always bought his way to the kingdom of clubs. At their boarders, the farmers were unhappy, and were willing to sell him their land for gold and diamonds.

Also he has the capability to make something cheap, seem priceless to the purchaser. This way, he was able to trick other nations to purchasing his goods. In the end, no other nation can have as much gold as the Kingdom of Diamonds.

He is used to a comfortable and regal lifestyle. His clothes had to be made of the most expensive cloth, if it's not made of gold and diamonds. He rarely stood up to do his duties, yet basked in the affluence that came with his title. He did not sweat. Whenever he wanted to take a stroll, there are people willing to carry him for money.

When he wants someone dead, he can pay for an assassin. When he wants a book to be read, he can pay someone to read it. When he wants something hidden to be known, he can pay spies and informants.

He carries a rapier with a golden handle. The blade is made of flawless diamond. The only exercise he has for the day is his fencing classes. He carries this blade everywhere he goes.

Since he is very rich, he has never experienced pain. He can always pay someone to take the bullet for him. Thus, he has a low tolerance for pain.

He loves drinking. He can afford the most expensive wines, and drink it every single day. He loves attention, love and adoration. He strives to get it every single day, even if he has to pay for it.

He has a son, not from the queen, but that he loved so much. His son is the Prince of the Kingdom, and handles public relations.

Before the former King died, he arranged a marriage with his only daughter, ([Unknown site tag] Queen of Diamonds ). There was no love between the two. In fact on most days, the two of them fought.

He has good relations with the eldest son of the former King of Hearts. They're best friends. But after the youngest son ascended to the throne, the King hasn't seen his bestfriend.
