Mysterious man

In the royal palace of the Apollo Kingdom, the throne room stood as devoid of any grandeur one might expect from a powerful kingdom.

The walls that was once filled with gold, the lavish weavings and intricate carvings had been all sold off long ago to fund the kingdom's functioning. The throne was filled with numerous cracks.

What remained was a dull space that lacked the magnificence and royalty of a true royal court. 

The atmosphere in the room was heavy. The higher nobles of Apollo were not concerned with maintaining their royal and noble image, but rather with managing the declining finances of the kingdom.

In the worn throne, a man in his 40s sat but he looked far older. Wrinkles covered his face and his eyes was dull with the burden of ruling a kingdom that was on the edge of ruin.

He seemed lost in thought. He was the current king of Apollo kingdom.
