Genius, right? Except things, naturally, go hilariously wrong.

Accidental Competence
Here’s the kicker: Wein’s attempts to sabotage his kingdom actually *work*. He accidentally solves problems.

Political Shenanigans and Unexpected Allies
We also get introduced to some key characters. These characters will play significant roles. They are not all that reliable and some are downright shady.
Wein finds himself dealing with neighboring nations. He also interacts with scheming nobles. The political landscape is a minefield of potential disasters.
His childhood friend, Ninym Ralei, is incredibly competent. She serves as his aide. Her unwavering loyalty and sharp intellect balance Wein's laziness.
More Than Just Comedy
