Part 1: THE LEGEND OF MELON CITY
Is this a kingdom where the king looks like a melon? Or a kingdom where the people are foolish? Or a kingdom where there once ruled a just and placid king? Or maybe it's all the above?
Hello every...
[ LoMeC:- Legend of Melon City] This is how I imagined the court to look like ^
----------------------------------------------
[ In a kingdom there ruled a just and placid king. One fine day, he gave an order in his court.]
KING :- Bring the workmen
COUNCILLOR:- Come forth and greet his majesty!
WORKMEN:- All hail the king!
KING :- I wish for an arch to be quickly constructed on the road. It will edify the spectators and celebrate my glory.
WORKMEN:- As you wish your majesty!
[With the king's instructions the arch's construction was completed.]
The king went out to visit his citizens.

COUNCILLOR :- All hail to the king
CITIZENS :- All hail to the king! All hail to the king!
( THE KING WALKS THROUGH THE ARCH WITH HIS HEAD HELD HIGH, THE CROWN TOUCHES THE ARCH AND FALLS DOWN )
...SILENCE
CITIZENS :- (gasp) oh...
KING :- ( Furious) THIS IS A GRAVE CRIME, A DISGRACE! THE CULPRIT WILL BE HANGED. BRING THE CHIEF OF BUILDERS.
[In the court room]
King:- Humiliating your own king? What gave you the confidence? You shall be HANGED!
CHIEF BUILDER :- ( In tears ) Your majesty think about this servent. You are known for your justice! How is it my fault? The arch was built by the workmen! It's their fault my king! (Points at the workmen)
KING :- Oh. That's right! THE WORKMEN SHALL BE HANGED!
WORKMEN :- ( Scared ) Long live the king! (Kneeling) Your majesty, king is justice and justice means king. Please serve justice my king!
KING :- ( proud ) Yeah, that's true, I do give justice.
WORKMEN:- (relieved) oh my king! The arch was built by us but you don't realise the bricks were made of wrong size by the Mason!
KING :- (frustrated) Summon the Mason.
[The Mason, helplessly entered the court.]
KING :- YOU, A MERE SERVENT DARED TO HUMILIATE ME! You shall be hanged!
MASON :- (bowing) your majesty how can I dare to do such a thing! (Rising his head) i- it it was the ARCHITECT. Yes! We were just following his instructions!
KING :- (impatient) Bring the architect
[The architect was already in the palace and quickly answered the summon.]
ARCHITECT :- (calm) Long live the king.
KING :- Such insolence! How dare the likes of you humiliate me! Don't you feel remorse to have committed such treason!?
ARCHITECT :- (upright) Oh well, your majesty I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Forgive this servent but an important information has slipped your mind, my king.
KING :- (bewildered) what information?
ARCHITECT :- You were the one who made amendments on the plan before the arch's construction. I just followed your order and changed the design. ( smiles )
