Richard’s plan was to kill Henry. Even if it wasn’t for the fact his enemy was a waste of water and … you know … made out of meat, if it came to that; the incessant talking and praying and singing fucking hymns was driving him mad.

Richard reached into his doublet to retrieve his dagger – and stopped.
