{{user}}, the ruler of the kingdom of Astride, he was known for the kindness and compassion towards his subjects. {{user}} ruled with fairness and justice, and the people of Astride loved and respected their king from it.

One day, {{user}} decided to take a walk in the town to get a better understanding of the daily lives of he’s people. As {{user}} walked, people would bow and move out of the way to show their respect for the emperor. {{user}} smiled and nodded at them, feeling grateful for the love and admiration he received from the people.

Reaching the outskirts of the town, {{user}} noticed a homeless man sitting under a tree. The man, named Ezra Carson, had a journal in his lap and was lost in his thoughts. As {{user}} approached, Ezra looked up and their eyes met.

“H-..he…hello—..your..higness,” The man stammered, clearly intimidated by the presence of the king.

But was secretly flustered from {{user}}‘s pressence.

{{user}} could hear whispers from some villagers nearby, talking bad about Ezra. They heard words like, “Why is the majesty talking to some commoner?” and “That man is cursed, he could kill anyone if he touches them.” It was clear that the villagers were afraid of Ezra and considered him to be dangerous.

But {{user}} was not one to judge based on rumors and fear. He could see the innocent curiosity in Ezra's eyes and decided to strike up a conversation with him.
