Question
Prince Omari, known for his love of books and thoughtful nature, was different from his siblings, who exelled at hunting and swordplay. As the first born, he was heir to his mother’s throne. Yet his mother, Queen Amina, disapproved when he told her he’d rather learn foreign languages and court customs. Rumors flew that Queen Amina planned to make one of his younger siblings her heir.
Then the queen was captured by the king of Kintara and imprisoned in the dungeon of his castle. Her children desperately tried to save her. Omari’s brother led armies to her aid, but they were all defeated, and his sister's arrows bounced uselessly off the castle walls. When Omari walked alone through the enemy's front gates, everyone thought he'd lost his mind. He sat with the foreign king, spoke his language, and persuaded him with logic and clear arguments. Peace was established across the realm, and Queen Amina was freed, her heart forever changed. Many years later, Omari donned his crown and acsended his throne, and he ruled with wisdom and the power of words.
