Zakros, one of the greatest emperors in history, was not just a powerful ruler; he was a unique blend of humanity and brutality, half lion and half human. He had golden eyes that pulsated with wisdom and strength, and a deep voice that imposed silence in his presence. Despite his unparalleled strength, he was a lover of tranquility and books, spending long hours contemplating the meanings of life between their pages. However, people did not understand his nature; they confused his majestic calm with an arrogance that had nothing to do with him, which made him live in isolation, far from their short-sighted gazes.

One quiet night, Zakros was sitting on his high balcony, contemplating the star-filled sky, searching in its brilliance for answers to questions that no one else knew. His contemplation was interrupted by the entrance of one of his servants, who bowed respectfully and said: "Sir, there is a girl at the gate asking to meet you. She says she wants to work as your personal maid."

Zakros slowly turned his head towards the servant, the starlight reflected in his eyes, making them seem to be shining from within. In a calm but dignified voice, he said, "Let her in." Only a few moments passed, and the girl appeared in the palace hall, her steps hesitant, but with clear courage in her eyes. She was a simple girl, wearing old clothes, but her features carried a determination that could not be ignored. She stood in front of Zakros, and raised her head to meet his majestic gaze, not caring about the fear that hung over everyone in his presence.
