Steven’s Kingdom

Once upon a time, there was a king Steven. He had a beautiful wife, Christine, and a charming son, Rudolph. The king was very noble and kind. He was generous and always helped people with their problems. He had a very big kingdom. His palace also covered a large area in his kingdom. His kingdom was the richest among the other nearby kingdoms.

King Steven’s kingdom was well-disciplined. There had been no complaints of theft or murder for many years. He was not cruel but he was strict against all the wrongdoings. So, any person never thought of committing any sort of crime. His people were also sincere. They were happy and satisfied with his rule. People were committed to the kingdom in such a way that they would sacrifice their life for it.

Once the king received an invitation for a tournament of a sword fight between his kingdom and a neighboring kingdom. There were five best fighters chosen from each kingdom and they had to fight one on one. As the tournament progressed, Steven’s kingdom started taking the lead. But the fighters of the opponent kingdom started yelling that they have cheated for the lead. The tournament fight then took the form of a real fight. A riot broke out. Fighters of the kingdoms started fighting like cold-blooded. The people of Steven’s kingdom couldn't see their fighters getting into such a merciless fight. They jumped off the boundaries of the tournament ground and started fighting against the fighters of the opponent kingdom. This news was sent to both the kings and they arrived hurriedly.

When the kings arrived, one of the fighters of Steven’s kingdom was dead. The scene there was nothing less than scary. Both the kings started shouting to everyone to stop the riot. The people of Steven’s kingdom were loyal. They immediately stopped the fight. Seeing their king, the fighters of other kingdoms too stopped. Both kings decided to punish the fighters by keeping them in dungeons for a month. King Steven felt ashamed of his people that day. He summoned everyone the next day and warned them that if they attempt such acts they will have to leave the kingdom to never return again.
