honestly it's a pretty good system, your leaders should be afraid that if they fuck up they will just be unceremoniously stabbed in their bath

the byzantines had all sorts of good ones, I forget his name but the best one was some old emperor and his assassin just locked the door, cut his head off, then held it up to the window and all the guards were like "well fuck it, I guess that doods emperor now"

I think it's a nice counterbalance to that level of power, if the people are willing to have you killed and then take on someone new, you had it coming

if you were unjustly assassinated, that dood did not tend to last
