In the regal ambiance of the throne room, King Solomon, with a gesture both grand and intimate, presented Lenny with a pearl, a gesture that was both a farewell and an initiation into a deeper realm of wisdom.
"Like I said, I did not ask for wealth but for wisdom. And with all you have seen and experienced, I am sure you already have an inkling of what my kind of wisdom entails. After all, a wise man is one that possesses incredible foresight or, at the very least, the experience of it," he imparted, his voice echoing with the weight of centuries.
As Solomon removed another pearl from his scepter, the atmosphere thickened with anticipation. "You and I have much to discuss. But as one who has proven his resolve to me, your path is distinctly your own. In schools, you learn first and are then tested. But for you, Lenny Tales, your education comes through the trials you endure. It is the blessing and the curse of those chosen to conquer the world."
