Once upon a time, there was a kingdom ruled by a baron who took an oath to be fair and just. But one day, he became too power-hungry and started interdicting the kingdom with unreasonable laws. The citizens rebelled against him, starting a civil war.
The baron quickly realized that he needed a successor to help rule the kingdom, so he went on a Crusade to find someone worthy. After many trials and tests, he found a humble farmer with a great sense of humor.
The farmer agreed to become the baron's successor and together they ruled the kingdom with fairness, justice, and a lot of laughter. The end.
