The unity of the Six Kingdoms was the only thing preventing the continent from descending into chaos. Long ago, these kingdoms had come together to sign a treaty, pledging to maintain peace among themselves. Prior to this agreement, the land was plagued by constant battles as each kingdom sought to expand its territory. Deception was rampant, with kingdoms sending threats to each other under false pretenses, sparking conflicts that seemed never-ending. Despite the countless lives lost and the bloodshed that stained the land, none of the kingdoms paused to consider the consequences of their actions. The cycle of violence appeared unbreakable, with no end in sight. However, the time had come for the fighting to cease. It was a necessary step that could only be enforced by a strong hand. And finally, after years of strife, one kingdom rose to the occasion - the Logres Kingdom.

The Logres Kingdom was founded by King Arthur, who famously pulled the sword from the stone. Since then, the kingdom has stood strong. The current king was tired of mourning lost knights and wanted to end the bloody battles. Despite sending letters to all kingdoms, only one responded. The arrogance of the other kingdoms was evident - they cared only for gaining territory. Determined to find a solution, the King embarked on a journey to see things from a new perspective. Traveling on horseback, he arrived at the Alchemy Kingdom, known for their infirmity. The guards were wary until he explained his purpose. The King of the Alchemist Kingdom met him, and they realized they shared similar values. Both kings were empathetic leaders who believed the wars needed to stop for true peace to prevail.

The King made a bold decision to journey to neighboring kingdoms in hopes of finding someone who would listen to his concerns, just like the Alchemist King had. Upon arriving at another kingdom, he was taken aback by the sight of the grand golden gates that guarded the opulent castle. Even before he could enter, the toll of a bell rang out, signaling the arrival of a group of knights who surrounded him swiftly. Despite his attempts to explain his presence, the knights seized him and led him inside the castle. As he was dragged through the intricate passageways, he couldn't help but notice the lavish decor of the castle, adorned with pure gold and meticulously maintained. Before he could comment on the extravagant design, he found himself kneeling before the ruler of The Richesse Kingdom.

He gazed down at the king who had journeyed to meet him. There was no hint of amusement on his face. Rising from his opulent crystalline throne, he peered down at the visiting king. With a chuckle, he demanded to know the purpose of his visit to his palace of wealth. The other king met his gaze and explained how the ongoing wars were impacting the continent, emphasizing the need for peace. The Richesse King laughed, stating that war was a natural part of life and he had no interest in intervening as he had everything he desired. Despite the Richesse King's initial reluctance, the visiting king persisted, pleading for his support. After some heated discussion, they eventually reached an agreement. The Richesse King acknowledged the necessity of peace, but made it clear that he would not seek alliances with other kingdoms to avoid compromising his own prosperity. The visiting king accepted the terms and departed, aware that only three kingdoms remained in the conflict.

As he ventured into the next Kingdom, the King couldn't help but notice the peculiar shape of its gates. The further he went, the more unsettling sounds he heard, including deep growls that sent shivers down his spine. Anxious and on edge, he continued riding his horse through the Kingdom, only to realize that there was no castle in sight. Doubt crept into his mind, questioning if there was even another Kingdom here. But before he could ponder further, he was abruptly snatched off his horse by a winged creature, soaring high into the sky. To his surprise, a man with a mischievous grin sat atop the beast. This levity man turned out to be the King of the Snaggletooth Kingdom. With a mix of panic and desperation, the King pleaded his innocence, explaining that he had come in peace to establish harmony between the Kingdoms. The Snaggletooth King, realizing his mistake, gently lowered the King back to the ground and dismounted from the colossal creature. His eyes filled with remorse, he apologized for his actions, explaining that he had to protect his hidden Kingdom on the hilltop with limited resources. The Snaggletooth King attentively listened to the King's plea, understanding the need to end the constant fighting between the Kingdoms. He was weary of losing his knights and feared the worst. Finally, a sense of relief washed over the King as he prepared to continue his journey, grateful for the opportunity to bring peace to the troubled lands.
