TY-SA The boy king was playing with his toy soldiers when his advisers brought in the messages. They figured the time to show him was when he was in a good mood. "Good news, your majesty," one said. The holy men have agreed to let you have your favorite city."
"Oh, boy!" he said. "Can we build a big castle there? Can we fly lots of flags and stuff from the towers? I want a new flag, I don't like our flag very much. I want one that has blue and purple in it!"
"Your majesty, we can fly whatever flag you please. But the holy men want to make sure that you agree that you won't attack them for at least 18 months."
"Oh, I don't think I'll ever attack them, but for sure I won't for that long! What about the short ones?"
"Um, your majesty, they were not so responsive. They said that we were asking for part of their kingdom."
"THEIR kingdom? Do they own all those towns and villages in that area? You told me that most of them were controlled by humans!"
"They are, your highness."
"Well, then it's not THEIR kingdom, is it? And if I land on them first, they are going to be part of MY kingdom. And if they try to take them from me, hey, these toys soldiers are supposed to be what they have, right?"
"Yes, your highness."
The little king giggled. "I got more soldiers than they do!"
