Once there lived a king who had a huge kingdom. The kingdom was super wealthy and the wealthiest was the king of course. The king was a brave one. He had gone to many fights and won them all. It felt like no one could defeat him. His strength was his mind, braveness. Since he was really smart and also had many smart people to work under his supervision. He even became stronger. But there was one thing that was bothering him a lot. That was the peace of the land of the neighbouring kingdom. The land was close to his kingdom. And he wanted that land. One day one of his informers came to him and talked about the fight that would happen within the two neighbouring kingdoms. Then the king decided to visit one of the great advisors of all time. He sent his soldiers to bring the advisor to the palace. The soldiers set off to bring the king’s advisor to the palace. The soldiers went to the king’s advisor and asked him to come with them. The king’s advisor agreed and came to the palace with the soldiers. He stood in front of the king. And kindly asked him why he was called here. The king told him about the situation and also told him how badly he wanted that piece of land since it is very close to the neighbouring kingdom so he can attack the kingdom and take over the kingdom. And told him when it was okay to attack the land. King’s advisor said, “We have to wait until the fight starts then attack when the fight is still going”. Since, till today he always listened to the advisor he decided to stick with the advisor’s plan. The next day the king started to prepare his soldiers for the upcoming fight. Then on the other hand the two kingdoms started to fight. And at night he decided to start a fight with the neighbouring kingdom. Then there was a war between his kingdom and the other kingdom. But the king defeated his neighbouring kingdom and took that land. But he thought why not defeat the whole kingdom? After that, he went for a fight with another kingdom and joined the war. Now, it was not a war within the two kingdoms but a war within three kingdoms. The war went on for 2 weeks. At this point, everyone was losing the war but the king was strong, and intelligent. He used his fighting skills very well and defeated the war. And the kingdom was the king’s now. King was really glad to have a soldier that would sacrifice themselves for the king. The king decided to reward the soldier and his family with lots of wealth. Since the soldier builds a high level of trust in front of the king. The king trusted the soldier and decided to give him the next heir in his kingdom. Also his advisor said to the king that the kingdom was in good hands. After 10 years he gave his position to the soldier who became the king of the kingdom. And after two days the old king died peacefully.
