video; where did all this tl;dr come from. I'm sorry.
I don't mind in the slightest.
[Oh, good, it sounds like Ciel is going to get a straightforward answer without any trouble. --But then the video clicks on, and the strange-looking man on the other end of the feed is grinning playfully at him. Uh oh.]
"A boy once walked up to a traveller on the road. 'Please help me', he said, 'for I am a stranger here and know not this country's ruler.' And so the traveller told him the legend of how the gods had created the country's first king. 'I know little of this fabled king of old', said the traveller, 'for his rule was a very long time ago and well before my time'. But the gods grew tired of the king and took his crown from him, and in his stead they put his nephew on the throne. The former king was condemned to wander the streets as a beggar. The nephew, however, was a cruel and unfit ruler, as nephews of these legends tend to be, and the people in the country longed for the return of the former king. Thus they grabbed their torches and pitchforks and overthrew the evil nephew. The old king resumed his former rule, and everyone, naturally, lived happily ever after. Presumably with the exception of the nephew.
'That is all well and good', said the boy, 'but I still don't know the name of your ruler'. 'Oh', said the traveller, 'you can read that in tomorrow morning's newspaper.'"
