[ a king is not someone who singularly decides the future of a nation; he builds the paths that best serve and reflect the desires of his subjects. someone who is strong, so that everyone might allowed to be weak.

You... speak very frankly.

Most city street kids do. They’re trying to survive; they don’t have the luxury of only being worried about who’s who when they’re starving. They know you look like the exact same pile of shit they do except you’re wrapped in nice clothes instead of the ones they found in the trash.
The streets don’t have the same rules the courts do, but I’m not saying the courts don’t have rules. You probably have too many actually.
If you’re a king, the only way you’re going to connect to your people and help them is through fixing the infrastructure of how they live. It’s not easy. You have to make the foundation strong before you can work on the rest. Maslow’s pyramid? I’ll show you sometime.
