That night,Meg was led into a magnificent dining room.A feast was laid there,but the only one who sat at the table was the king with his little blue bird in its golden cage at his elbow. The king dismissed the guards aand indicated a chair at his right hand.’Come sit by me,Meg.’ Meg sat very carefully so as not to harm her lovely dress.’Now,Meg,’King Lockedheart said as he took a gold plate and set meat and sugared fruit upon it.’I have a question for you.’ ‘What is that,your majesty?’ The king set the plate he had filled with his own hands before her.’I wish to know what love is.’… Meg looked at the most powerful man in the kingdom.’Your majesty,may I ask why you wish to know what love is?’ The king frowned.’I know what it is to face death in battle.I know about ruling a vast kingdom,about meting out justice and showing mercy,but despite all this,I do not know what love is.Can you tell me?’ Meg thought about his question as she ate.How was she to explain love to a king...

Once upon a time,in a land long forgotten now There lived a king,feared by all and loved by none. His name was King Lockedheart. Now,King Lockedheart was a very proud man. For though he had being born to a small and insignificant kingdom,he had,through courage,guile and daring,defeated the surrounding larger countries until he controlled a vast and powerful kingdom. To the north were mountains rich in minerals and sparkling gems. To the east,fields of golden grains and fat cattle. To the south lay tall hardwood forests. And to the west was an ocean overflowing with silver fish. A man could start from the capital city and walk a month in any direction and not leave the lands belonging to King Lockedheart.
