I'm impressed with the amount of storytelling you were able to fit into just 300 words. You had an entire conspiracy to unseat the king with multiple parties involved! Great job.

Claude's initial response to the return of King Delbert seems a little off considering he was one of the conspirators that tried to get rid of him so he could usurp the throne. Why did he welcome Delbert back with open arms rather tahn try to convince everyone that it was a charlatan or a con man?

Overall, I enjoyed the writing and the amount of story that fit into this piece, although I think there's a little room for refinement. But good work so far!
