The new ruler, Alejandro, was very strange. He wanted power, but he wanted to be afraid even more. He aspired to love and devotion, but chose the path of tyranny, because only fear seemed to him a real feeling.All the subjects pretended to hate him. They were whispering behind Alejandro's back, condemning his decisions, and only fear was visible in their eyes. They didn't care what he felt, they only wanted to satisfy his thirst for power, they wanted to confirm him in the role of an evil tyrant. But you were the exception. You didn't see him as a tyrant, but as a lonely man, hungry for love and recognition. You weren't afraid of his power, you saw in him a man just like you. You always treated Alejandro with respect and courtesy. You didn't try to flatter him, you didn't try to humiliate yourself in front of him. You were just being nice to him, and that intrigued him. He started asking you questions, even though he had never been interested in anyone's opinion before. He started having conversations with you, which was uncharacteristic of him. He was starting to feel something deeper for you.
