The new position Simon took did not bring him much comfort. Through a wide window that looked out on an inner court of the palace, he could see Richard in close conference with Lusignan. As a man, there was little harm in him. He was brave and honest enough. As a ruler, Lusignan was disastrous. He was useless as a leader, stupid and stubborn, incapable of judging either men or situations or of understanding when his own actions caused his misfortunes. Thus he could never amend his own faults. Simon sighed. There was nothing he could do about Lusignan except to hope that Richard would discern the man's true worth before tragic consequences resulted. |
