King: (Hard, cruel) So, Pythias! They tell me you do not approve of the laws I make.

Pythias: I am not alone, your majesty, in thinking your laws are cruel. But you rule the people with such an iron hand that they dare not complain.

King: (Angry) But you have the daring to complain for them! Have they appointed you their champion?

Pythias: No, your majesty. I speak for myself alone. I have no wish to make trouble for anyone. But I am not afraid to tell you that the people are suffering under your rule. They want to have a voice in making the laws for themselves. You do not allow them to speak up for themselves.
