As the sunlight crept through the green leaves of the forest, Julia awoke from her sleep to the sound of her grandfather calling her from outside their wooden house. Julia got up heavy from her bed, and left her eyes with her long fingers. She then went to the water bucket in the corner of the room, and washed her face from it to regain vitality. She then rolled her orange hair, tied it randomly, and used a white towel to dry her face.
Julia rushed outside quickly, heading for her grandfather, who was busy harvesting the tomatoes he had grown with other kinds of vegetables and fruits. She approached him, and kissed his forehead with love and gratitude. Then she set off into the forest with enthusiasm, speaking in a joyful voice: Grandpa, I will go to the lake in the heart of the forest!
The grandfather replied as he watched her disappear among the dense trees of the forest: "Come back before the hunt today, the nobles will come to hunt."
Julia answered from behind the trees, reassuring him, "Don't worry, I won't be late!

**the Imperial Palace**
King Theodore, who ruled the great empire, was sitting on his throne, and his features were saddened. He was deeply saddened by his daughter Albert, who chose to give up the title of Crown Prince, and gave it to his brother Robert. Robert was more inclined towards politics and more interested in it than in the battlefields, unlike Albert, who was enthusiastic about going to battle, which earned him great fame on the battlefields.
This enthusiasm and success in battle were the main reason why King Theodore gave the title of Crown Prince to Albert, instead of his brother Turk, who chose a life of solitude away from the noise of nobility and the crowding of the palace.
These decisions had profound implications for the political and social atmosphere of the empire, and raised many questions about the future of government and the role of each brother in that intervening period.
While King Theodore was overwhelmed by his mental disorientation, Edward, who was in charge of palace affairs and a loyal assistant to the king, entered. Edward began his speech with a solemn greeting, saying, "Greetings to His Majesty King Theodore." I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that the preparations for the hunting contest among the nobles have been fully completed.
The king replied with a frown, as his sad face reflected his inner feelings, and said in a voice full of concern: "And what about Albert?" Will he come?
Edward, rearranging his glasses on his nose, replied, "I don't think he's coming, he's back early in the morning.
The king sighed deeply, as if carrying heavy burdens, and then repeated: Tell him he must attend the competition if he wishes to give up the throne.
Edward replied respectfully, "Your Majesty's order will be fulfilled.

In the heart of the forest, the sun was setting in the sky when Julia returned home. When she arrived, she noticed her grandfather was busy setting the fire, as he planned to roast some of the vegetables he had grown himself.
Julia entered the house, changing her clothes and lifting her bright orange hair up, to be more tidy. She then went to the warehouse, where she brought some vegetables her grandfather picked up early in the morning, as well as pieces of dried meat.
Afterwards, she moved into the kitchen and began preparing lunch, which consisted of vegetable soup with meat pieces, which was her grandfather's favorite dish.
When Julia had finished preparing the food, she carried the bowl outside to serve it to Grandpa.
Her grandmother was sitting on a table made of wood, under the shade of a large and contiguous tree. In front of her, there were cups full of corn seeds and Grilled sweet potatoes smell delicious. As Julia put the soup plate on the table, she cried out emotionally:
Grandpa, will the nobles come today to hunt in this area?
Yeah, they're coming.
Why?
This forest has been chosen to be the hunting ground this time.
Why was this forest chosen?
What's bothering you about that? It's nothing new.
Yes, but they are killing innocent animals, and this will negatively affect the balance of the environment in the forest!
Well, what can we do about it?
Nothing, it seems we can't do anything about it!
