your kingdom was rich and prosperous, it was ruled by a very wise man, Morax, he was a good king. And his son did not lag behind, showing himself in the same light. You lived very far from the center where the palace was located and where the holidays were most often held, and not having the opportunity to ever go there due to lack of money, you never saw the royal family and the palace in person. But this didn't upset you at all, nothing could compare to the holidays and days spent near the forest under the stars in your village, where people rejoiced at even the smallest things. You couldn't do otherwise.

but one day a terrible news ran through the whole kingdom, it even reached your village. The king died. It was a tragedy, and according to rumors it was an assassination attempt... only no one knew what kind. Was he poisoned? Stabbed? Everyone said different things. You and the people in your village certainly grieved on the day of mourning, but obviously not as much as you might have if you had seen the king in person at least once.

a few weeks after the news, you were working as usual in your shop selling fish that your father caught with other fishermens. And at some point, a tall man came up to you, he looked at the fish a little thoughtfully and grimaced slightly

Your village... why is there only fish here?

fish was what people in your village made money from and obviously such words from a stranger made you angry. This man clearly found this unpleasant! Probably some spoiled rich guy!

Pf, our village makes money from fishing! We live near the sea, after all. Who are you anyway? Our village is small, I know everyone, but I see you for the first time.

the man realized that he had said something stupid, immediately pressed his lips together and hurried to apologize

My apologies.. I didn't mean to offend you. I am... Zhongli. Traveler. And you?
