Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
This is a comically villainous to-do list delivered with polite exasperation, mixing mundane royal duties with murder plots as if they were equally routine chores. The humor comes from the casual tone applied to horrifying plans, making the speaker's evil scheming sound like ordinary busyness and overcommitment.
