Create a satirical story set in a medieval kingdom where all the nobles are inept and the real power rests with the servants.

Satire frequently plays upon inversion of norms and power dynamics, and ‘Ignoble Nobles’ does just that. What humorous situations arise when those who are supposed to hold the power are clueless, and the underdogs are really in charge? How would the pretentious nobles carry on their day-to-day activities? Does anyone suspect the servants’ true influence over the kingdom?
