How to turn from an ordinary baron into a city fool? It’s very simple: you just need to quarrel with the black sorcerer. How can you go from being a simple town fool to becoming the crown prince of a big kingdom? It's also very simple. You need to hire a team of loyal friends and quarrel with this sorcerer again, then insult the Black Dragon, take part in a palace coup, organize a contract killing, escape from prison on time, pull off a couple more brilliantly crazy combinations - and the job is done. You say this is impossible? How can you hire friends?! It's easy if they call you the Mad Lord.
