    She was captivated.

     

    The handsome young man knelt among the children, mending their toys, sharing food, and laughing as if he were one of them. She found herself sitting on a bench nearby, watching him for nearly an hour.

     

    At last, she decided to approach him — but as she stepped forward, her foot caught on a loose stone. She stumbled and fell into a puddle with a splash.

     

    The man turned at once, eyes widening.

     

    "Are you hurt?" he asked, rushing over.

     

    "Not quite," she replied, brushing mud from her dress.

     

    He took her hand and helped her to her feet. She looked into his warm, earnest eyes.

     

    "May I know who you are, sir?" she asked.

     

    He smiled humbly.

    "Oh, I’m just a lowly man of a lowly class."

     

    She tilted her head.

    "May I ask you a question?"

     

    "Yes, of course."

     

    "If you were to be king… what would you do?"

     

    The man’s gaze grew thoughtful.

    "Well… I’m not sure the queen knows this, but there are many people in this kingdom who are starving. Yes, it is a prosperous land — but there are corrupt officials, and food and water are not reaching everyone as she believes they are."

     

    His voice grew firm.

    "The first thing I would do is remove every corrupt official, so there could be fair distribution of food and water to all — especially the poor."

    The Queen was astonished by the young man’s words.

    Not only were they wise, they were filled with compassion and vision.

     

    "Oh, dear sir," she said softly, "I would love to hear more of what you have to say. Would you accompany me to the palace so we can speak further?"

     

    The man hesitated, then nodded. Together, they returned to the palace gates.

     

    In the days that followed, the Queen learned more about him — and to her surprise, he was not the simple commoner she had assumed, but a man of remarkable intellect and quiet strength. His heart belonged to his people, and his mind held the wisdom of a true ruler.

     

    The Queen’s heart had already decided: this was the man worthy to be her partner… her king… her throne.

     

    "Let us be wed in three days," she declared. "And in the first few months, I shall see your deeds before you are crowned king."

     

    And so it was.

     

    This is the tale of how a humble man, driven by kindness and justice, rose to sit beside a Queen.

     

    The Queen who once had no throne… now had one — and it was love that built it.

     

    The End.
