hatred/ Love Begins

King Leo walked in to the palace with a frowned face and sat on his throne. he was already sweating profusely and burning up. "the king is angry " the maidens said as they hurried inside. queen Lily overheard their conversation and left immediately to welcome her husband. "what is wrong my Lord ?" queen Lily asked with a trembling look. "so, this is what that has been going on in this kingdom" leo muttered. " and I'm putting an end to all of this" he added. " please, calm down and speak to me" queen Lily begged. " I see no reason why the poor villagers out there in the market striving for a living will be charged to pay some trash fees or sort to the royal cabinet" King Leo said as he raged.

"but my Lord, it has been like this before the kings after your great-grandfathers" the royal guard said. " I don't need your opinions, It has been there doesn't mean it can't be changed" Leo said. " and this trash laws governing this kingdom are to be reformed" king Leo said as he walked to and fro inside his palace court. "summon the royal cabinets and the kingmaker" king Leo ordered. "but my Lord..." the guard was interrupted as King Leo ordered him to get out and carryout his duties. " but this is really outrageous" Queen Lily said . "as I've vowed to make changes, so shall it stand" King Leo kept saying inside him. as the palace court was being prepared for the impromptu meeting, the royal cabinet members were entering in pairs. as every member needed for the meeting has seated. as the king arrived while every other living being present in the palace Court kept standing, crowds crying entered into the palace compound. the king and all the cabinet members hurriedly left the court and headed outside.

a young man was captured by the guards and chained on both limbs. king Leo was displeased beholding the sight of the old parents of culprit as they rolled on the floor crying and begging for mercy. "silence!" the kingmaker shouted. "what's the matter?" the kingmaker asked. "he obstructed us from carrying out our duty" one of the guard said. "your duty which is?" curious King Leo asked. " the family hasn't paid the weekly fees as directed by the royal cabinet members" another guard added. "take him to the prisons and...." the Kingmaker was interrupted by King Leo. "release him and send him to my Royal chamber" King Leo said to everybody's amazement. " please, everyone is dismissed" Leo said. "and we have a meeting going on" King Leo said calmly to the royal cabinet members and the Kingmaker. everyone murmured , both the villagers leaving the palace compound and the cabinet members entering the palace Court. as everyone was seated around the court table. King Leo began his speech. " there are changes to be made, some of our laws are to be reformed" King Leo kept on saying as everyone looked at him with great annoyance. some are still wondering what led to the release of the young man in chains earlier. the royal cabinet members started murmuring and immediately the king left for a break.
