THE KING'S SHIT

Part One

A monarch's flatulence delights the courtiers. More material for the Royal Excrement Archive. A scholar plays with cockroaches. The hard life of the gold diggers. Vile knights ride in. The kingdom's dumbest conspirator. A bride search goes awry. A big bang and: War!


We meet a hero without a name or origin, as well as his all-knowing boss.

A kidnapping and a difficult journey to the monastery. The king plays with toy soldiers. A fortress line with a huge problem. Villains weave dark plots. And: Gold, gold, gold!

About the text

Part Three

A bastard is conceived and hidden. In the kitchen of the royal castle, a cook stirs up a foul concoction. Gypsy honor and blood ties. Nun and cardinal: a fine couple. Two defeated villains make a fresh start. A dragon runs out of steam. A brothel as a refuge.

 

A handsome young man, previously known only as an orphan, runs into his father and immediately regrets it.
