ago there lived not long ago in a small kingdom of a queen who ruled their people with an iron hand. In their kingdom was forbidden to laugh and once a week, all subjects had to arrive in the courtyard of the royal castle to be yelled at collectively by the Queen. The people were unhappy, but hardly anyone dared to express his dissatisfaction, because the queen knew from critics no quarter. Even those who dared to smile a little, was greeted with a hundred lashes, it's in the annals of the empire not just handed down the penalties that had to endure, which had complained, so horrible have been this. It
the Queen had become aware that they probably would not live forever, even if they accepted only reluctantly, that all views should be ended. So she thought for a long time about who should for once take over their kingdom that was not a large, but at least two times greater than Lummerland. To whom should she just entrust their legacy, all in the course of their lives accumulated lands which had brought them in all their cunning and illegality in itself and what the people talked only behind closed doors? After all, they
had four children, two daughters and two sons, but the succession already certain to pass the crown only to female offspring. That it was all right, was but the older son is a dreamer, who freely gave for nights in the flooding and taverns of the kingdom, the power of the monarch verschlemmte and countless butcher horses and servants, although the prince did not like to laugh but in his presence after all impunity and were able to look deep into the glass. The younger son to use for anything, was the aging Queen, she has often wondered how she had earned the boy, whose daily struggle against sleep demanded his attention. He likes to claim to be suffering from a strange sleeping sickness from the East, which enabled him always quite unprepared into a deep sleep, especially when the queen asked for him, even though he had left the UK never and ambassadors from the Maghreb, Levant and Ottoman empires, the Kingdom of shunned because they were afraid of the queen.
So you were only her two daughters. The older one was certainly the smarter of the two, it was also revealed her mother always faithful. Although it sometimes, when again a subject was given one hundred back on it because he dared to laugh, sympathize physically pretending they never turned away from the mother and became her loyal support. She had applied it to guard the treasury. It was one day from the day a AUETAL was the name of the coins with which you acted in the kingdom. Only now and then, when her brother was ill-bred again verzecht so much that the State Treasury fell below an alarming degree, she said her mother, they must again adopt a new law to squeeze the people even more. The older daughter wanted to be the favorite of the queen, that would have given her, perhaps she would have dispensed with even for the crown, but it was not to be.
was the favor of the queen's youngest daughter. This brought against the queen of all the affection that the older daughter would have liked, because life is not always fair. It pleased the Queen that her favorite put the ruthlessness of the day, she had once made so great. The queen had adopted a new law, it was the role of the younger daughter to write this. Often the subjects understood the laws, not because they were formulated incomprehensible and therefore came into conflict with them. But there were also simple laws, like the one that the younger daughter of the Queen in games must always win. Once the elder brother asked his sister to make a law that would let him carouse without charge. But not because the soldiers, and judge of the Queen understood the law, the prince was arrested and received 50 lashes. Since the brother was angry with my sister, but dared not complain to the Queen about this and consoled himself instead with different roasts.
The younger daughter was also happy to represent the Kingdom abroad, but the representatives of other kingdoms, all the kings and princes did not want to have the younger daughter in their countries because they had no manners, that her royal Blood would have met. They constantly insult the foreign rulers on their visits and caused resentment in the relationship, what went so far that kings of other kingdoms at the borders armies lined up to convey to the Queen that she should never again send their daughter to them.
You had left her daughter in the country, and amused himself to distribute itself lashes of subjects to construct bridges, the writing always collapsed and poems, which she presented to the people on the days on which it was yelled at by the Queen . The people had to applaud, but it is the daughter not loud enough. So they formulated a law that the people had not only applaud, but also of his voice 'Encore, Encore' should be chanted. To enforce the laws the people were hostile to poetry with a few lashes given a helping hand, but grew discontent among the people.
The Queen dawned no good, but they would never divulge their favorite, on the contrary. They rewarded her youngest with more tasks, and more As for these tasks, the more the anger grew like a vicious circle.
Once a year, offered the Queen her people an audience on which the subjects were given the opportunity, requests sent to them. Of course, no one sent a request to the ruler, Make a request for that was the open expression of dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction was not tolerated. Early sources speak well of someone who one day had the courage to send a request to the monarch, only the name of that brave will not spoken aloud, and nobody knows where to find his remains.
So it happened that was granted in that year the audience, as always, opened a few shouted words of welcome, followed by the call, who would carry forward as more and also something that should now have the opportunity. No one expected a lecture course during the audience, the older daughter had silently AUETAL, the elder son arrived vigorously to the buffet, while his younger brother had already nodded off again and cheated the younger daughter of the staff at cards at the already meager pay. But it was
that a citizen who dared, in an undertone to address the Queen.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, I
you want to ask earnestly
to free us from the drudgery of the verses, we are forced to listen
daily
give us more blows, if you like it,
but please, no more these words are the
a worse torture than any
Stretching bank in the world. "
The Queen was lost for words if this boldness, she ran to bright red and it already showed the first white spots when the youngest daughter jumped before the people and on behalf of the Queen announced that it was immediately banned from leaving the house at all. If the people wanted no verses, then it could stay at home, and if the people not good for anything, whether it was also forbidden to bring children into the world, and that would apply from now. The queen immediately confirmed that this is so from now, and it was become law.
The older daughter said to himself, now all they have to starve because no one longer worked in the fields, and no one would they serve more as all lackeys had to stay in the houses, and the people would die if there were any more children, and without people there would be no kingdom, but they never would face up to the Queen and explain it to her. The eldest son had not really understood everything, and decided to think about tomorrow, there's some waiting game on its consumption, while his brother had slept through everything. The Queen meanwhile it was satisfied that her daughter could solve everything as it belongs to.
And so it happened that all his subjects starved miserably and the royal family followed them, and It happened that a whole kingdom disappeared from the earth. So had finally lost all no matter what stage they were in, just because a queen was not clear, but also because the people with one exception, all endured without complaint. The writer of the chronicles of the kingdom will be fulfilled until the last breath of his task, and reported by a queen in the delusion that her youngest daughter wandered for weeks through the corridors of the castle, on the other children is not known.
The kingdom was never inhabited again, only the old castle ruins still stands today. It's the myth, at night you could still have the queen and her princess in the aisles . Hear
