I come from the lower class. I do what I am told without question. I can not read. I have not seen my family in a long time.
How may I serve you, King? Come and relax. Sit. This is a place for everyone to come and enjoy. Thank you so much for your kindness, dear King.  You work hard. and you should enjoy things. Do you have family? I have a mother, but she is very ill.  What is going on with your mother? She has the fever with red spots that is spreading throughout the kingdom.  I hope that she gets better and I give you my scepter. Sell it to help you with your mother and any other essentials you need. Dear King, this is why you are so loved throughout the land. How may I repay you for your kindness? you need not repay me. I give to you because it is needed and you deserve to have enough to help your mother. My family and I will be indebted to you for all of our days.  I just want your mother to get better. Is there any other family that does not live with you
