the wicked king
the wicked king
Rodrigo David
Once, a wicked king named Varron ruled with an iron fist. His cruelty knew no bounds—he taxed the poor, banished the wise, and executed anyone who defied him. One night, a mysterious stranger visited his court, offering a mirror that showed one's true self. When Varron looked, he saw a monstrous reflection. Horrified, he smashed the mirror, but the image haunted him. Consumed by fear and guilt, Varron fled his kingdom, never to be seen again, and peace returned to the land.
