That just leaves the tantrum throwing imbecile called the King to make one foolish decision after another. He gift wrapped the heir to throne as a hostage to a hostile foreign nation, beat his other son almost to death for daring to look into evidence of betrayal, and now all the advisors are too scared to point out the obvious.
All that for an Anticlimactic, Rushed wrap up ending. We deserved way more Eve and Adam scenes.
