Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Jorge' Castaneda Epinola de Toronago is the despot of Cantalonia. 



"I rule this country like no other." he said pointing at his brother, Santobel, who was tied to the firing line post. 



"Why are you doing this?"  asked Santobel, readjusting his bonds. 



"Because I can."  said Jorge', swishing his sword. 



"You will pay for this."  said Santobel, closing his eyes. 



Jorge' raised his sword slowly up to his left shoulder.  The soldiers raised their weapons with precision.  Jorge' lowered his sword briskly.  The soldiers turned firing in unison. 



Jorge' dropped his sword, blood trickled from the bullet wound in his head.  His uniform was riddled with holes. 



He fell forward, kissing dust, never to rule again.
