00:00Long ago, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a ruthless king named Eldrick the Tyrant.
00:08He was known across the lands for his cruelty, greed, and harsh rule.
00:14The people of his kingdom feared him so much that even the mention of his name would make them tremble.
00:22King Eldrick loved nothing more than to see his people bow before him.
00:27Anyone who dared to disobey his orders was either executed or thrown into the dark, cold dungeons of his castle,
00:36a place from where no one had ever returned.
00:39His second favorite hobby was collecting heavy taxes from the poor and the rich alike.
00:46Every month, the people were forced to give away a large portion of their earnings to fill the king's endless greed.
00:54Those who couldn't pay had their homes burned down and their families thrown into the streets to starve.
01:03One day, an old wanderer named Father Lucian arrived in the town.
01:09Upon hearing about the king's brutality, his heart filled with sorrow.
01:14He decided to visit King Eldrick and advise him to leave his cruel ways.
01:20The townsfolk tried to stop him, saying,
01:23No one dare speak against King Eldrick.
01:26He will have you killed.
01:28But Father Lucian replied calmly,
01:30A man of truth fears no king.
01:33The very next morning, Father Lucian reached the gates of the royal palace.
01:39The guards were startled by the old man's bravery, but allowed him in upon his insistence.
01:46When Father Lucian stood before the cruel king, he raised his hands to the sky and said,
01:52O king, power and cruelty do not last forever.
01:57One day time will bring justice upon you.
02:00King Eldrick laughed loudly and replied,
02:04Old fool, I am the ruler of this land.
02:07No one can defeat me.
02:10Father Lucian smiled and softly spoke,
02:13The time of truth will come, and you shall see the end of your tyranny.
02:19Weeks passed, and soon a neighboring kingdom, ruled by King Alden,
02:25declared war upon King Eldrick's land.
02:28Eldrick's army tried to resist, but the people of the town, exhausted by years of oppression,
02:35refused to fight for their cruel king.
02:38The army was defeated terribly.
02:41King Eldrick, in fear for his life, fled to the nearby forest.
02:47For days he wandered, hungry and alone.
02:50One evening, as he rested under an ancient oak tree,
02:54a venomous snake bit him.
02:56No one came to save him.
02:59His body lay there in the cold night, abandoned.
03:03It is said that days later, some villagers buried him in the forest without a proper grave.
03:10After Eldrick's death, peace and prosperity returned to the kingdom.
03:15King Alden ruled wisely and treated the people with kindness.
03:19Father Lucian gathered the people and reminded them,
03:23Tyranny never survives.
03:26Truth and justice always prevail in the end.
