Premise
It is the year 850, Middle Ages. Mrkomir, a Croatian duke who rules the principality, is incredibly ambitious but also foolish, which frequently brings him to ruin. Although he is illiterate, he pretends to be literate and relies on Slavomir, who holds several important positions at the palace, including head of the secret service, named the Duke's Operational Agency (KOA), as well as advisor and cupbearer. Slavomir frequently expands his riches and power by taking advantage of his position and Mrkomir's faith in his judgment. But Mrkomir's greatest issue is that he is a vassal of the Franks, and he longs for independence so that he can fulfill his lifelong desire of becoming king and turning his principality into a kingdom.[4]
