Sour Grapes

That wasn't the answer he expected to hear, but it was the perfect answer. Krayden started the story at the beginning. 

He told her about a boy who used to live on the streets. He struggled to survive with dreams of living in a castle one day. 

The Kingdom of Keltin used to be made up of five warring nations. The people lived bitter lives while the rich lived in luxury. 

"The boy wanted to change things for the commonfolk. So he vowed to unite the nations into one."

"Did the boy dream of ruling too?" Athena asked. 

Krayden closed his eyes and shook his head. 

"He never dreamt of wearing the crown. But when all was said and done, it was offered to him and put on the throne." 

Athena leaned forward, "Not bad for a boy from the streets. But I guess ruling is alot more difficult than others make it seem."
