by the same marble. The hall was so huge and had
decorations of the shape of lions spreading all over. It had
many columns beautifully decorated. Milton was amazed
by the view, which he had never seen something alike or

King Matthew sat in the far end of the hall. He was
old, very tall, and big. He had a dark brown complexion,
thick grey hair, and thick facial hair. He was wearing a
luxurious blue tunic.
In the hall also was his son Prince Harlem, who had
a tall, fair, and thin body. He had short black hair, and light
black facial hair. He had a big black mole on the right side
of his forehead. He was wearing a luxurious yellow tunic.
He was known for being spoiled by his father, as he
was the only son the king had. The king loved him too
much, which made him feeble with a weak personality and
poor fighting skills. The king was so softhearted when it
came to his son, as a father’s heart normally is, even if it
was the heart of a harsh king who was merciless toward
those he considered a threat. Harlem was an arrogant man
because he knew that one day he would become the king of
that vast kingdom.

servants.

king decided to please him so as to get his help in an easier
way.
He stood up. “Are you the Proud who wanted to see
me?”
