Unexpected

Chapter 19 part two

Here it is, what is in that mystery book. (In that book was much more information, but I've just given you pieces that the prince read.

"Everyone blames me for what happened. Rumors are spreading throughout the kingdom that various natural disasters are affecting the country because of me. The elites keep telling me to stop, but nothing bad is happening. Okay, there's hunger in the kingdom, disease, etc. But I can fix it.
Maybe I exaggerated a bit. They blame me for bringing darkness. I meant well. If you can live in the light of the sun, you can also live in the light of the moon. I will prove to them all that you can live in the dark. The environment is changing. The mountains change beyond recognition.

I explain to them all that it's a change of fate and not a punishment from the gods, but no one wants to listen to me. Once a beautiful kingdom, now rich of miserable. I am the king of wretches who want to dethrone me because they think that in this way they will save the kingdom. Nonsense. You can't save a dead country. We can now start calling it the ghost of the dead in the world of the living. Corpses lie in the streets. The plague is raging. But it's not my fault anymore. We live in a closed environment where any new external factor can disrupt the health system.
I wonder what's happening behind the mountains. In another world. Maybe it's better there? The most interesting events reach my ears. The wind tells me stories about what's happening behind the mountains. Amazing adventures. The most interesting story is the one about the golden-haired monkey. He seems like me. I'd like to meet him. So. According to the wind, he had just become king. What amuses me the most is that he called himself the king of the monkeys. Should I understand that I am his subordinate? Funny. Must have a good sense of humor. From what I hear, he has a bad temperament and is looking for allies. I could use it.

He tries to convince them that they need to leave these areas, but everyone is against it. I have no support here. Even though I am the king, no one supports my opinion, which counts less and less.
If they don't want to leave the land, they have to adapt to the new living conditions. But they still don't want to listen to me. I'm sick of it. I am their king. They should listen to me.
I give them good advice. The sun has disappeared and will not return. At least that's my opinion.
For now, I am the only person who has mastered the darkness.

I couldn't believe what happened. He came here, or rather... and I don't even know where he came from or how, but he is here, this amazing golden-haired monkey that I have heard so much about.
He stood in front of me with his head held high. With smile on face. In his hand he held his weapon, a red-golden stick. He was dressed in golden armor.
He introduced himself to me as the Monkey King. I tried not to laugh. I replied that I was too. He said that I'm not and called me the king of the macaques. I asked why. He replied that there were only macaques here. That's actually a good point.
He told me he was gathering allies and wanted me to be one of them. This surprised me, because at the moment my kingdom has nothing to offer. It seems a bit like a trick, but do I know? I need help now, my kingdom needs help.

I agreed. I said he can stay here as long as he wants. But he told me that I should go with him to his kingdom, that I could see what it is like to live in paradise. Curious. My kingdom is definitely not a paradise but a mortuary. I wanted to find out if what he was saying was true. And if so, maybe this king could help me run my kingdom?
I asked him what his name was. He said that for now it would be enough for me to call him by his title. This monkey is funny. I was the one who said the same thing so he could call me by my title.
He smiled. I have a feeling we'll come to an agreement.
