Summary
Lord Vetinari was about to succeed a long line of older men out of touch with the population, and often with reality. He promised stability, and would endeavor to keep the roiling chaos of the city down to a low simmer. And it was a daunting task, but one he knew he could succeed at.
The problem was the nobles. The guild leaders. The foreign dignitaries. The visiting heroes. The higher-ups of the Disc who would see a very young man – practically still a child, they would say – and decide to make it their personal mission to make Havelock Vetinari’s every moment in the Oblong Office ten times more difficult than it needed to be.

Summary
"Both the class of ‘66 and ‘68 had been made to kill real people on the Run. It was terrifying how much Vetinari drank that night, but he claimed he’d never learned how to get drunk and was operating on the vain hope that emptying his wallet would empty his brain" -All The Patrician's Horses
"If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well
It were done quickly. If the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We’d jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here, that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague th' inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
To our own lips." -Macbeth -

Lord Winder’s death was going to be a highly public, ceremonialised inhumation, and would thus be done according to tradition. This meant traditional Assassin's regalia, and, for the fledgling Assassin boy on his first formal Assignment, being helped into the regalia. It's like your father helping you put your cloak on when you graduate university, but like, murder.
