The King Who Must Listen
Silakhram has ten faces. But in the throne room, only one voice was allowed to speak. since childhood He has been trained to choose the calmest face in the public eye. The fearful, suspicious, or tender façade is covered with jewelry. The royal teacher said that the king must not hesitate. Because people cannot rely on people who argue with themselves.
He inherited the throne of Stone Labyrinth City after the Night of the Thunder. Trade routes were cut. The city lacks food. Silakhram made a contract with the White Seal Alliance in exchange for the right to control the lower gates in order to receive supplies. One voice protested that the lower cities would lose their way out. But he silenced the voice with a sealing spell and signed amid applause.
Many years later, the upper city still had a party. The bottom section starts counting meals instead of days. Silakhram always receives neat reports. Until the courier boy hid hard bread in the royal letter box and asked why His Majesty's food was different from ours. He ordered an investigation and found that officials had converted the complaint into a thank you before sending it to him.
What shook him the most was not being deceived. But it is seeing his signature of approval on the regulations that prohibit repeated complaints. The sealed faces began to cry out in unison. His body stopped in the middle of the ceremony. No orders can come out of his mouth. The soldiers thought it was an assault. Arresting several innocent people before he could muster the voice to stop.
Silakhram took off his jewelry and walked downstairs. He was scolded and denied food. and was asked to go see sick people instead of giving speeches He listened without using soldiers to enforce silence. Ten faces see the same house from ten angles. Some faces want to compensate with money. Some faces want to punish officials. Some knew that the first approver was standing right there.
In the nineteenth year, the Confederation Outpost will permanently close its lower gates to keep its promise. Silakhram tried to get a ban. But the old seal had authority over the new order. He then used the Multi-Sound Bow to destroy the mechanism he was protecting. Each face must calculate the same orientation so that the person cannot escape and not be caught in the crossfire. His body was frozen until he had come to accept that he could not keep both the throne and the promise that had hurt the people.
The last arrow opened a vent to the lower city. But the force of the quake destroyed the throne room above. Silakhram saw the royal emblem fall with no hands to catch it. The Arun Front, which had helped along the evacuation route, found him carrying a slab of stone from a worker's house. He had no crown, but still had a responsibility that could not be removed.
He announced that the authority to organize supplies would be returned to the community councils. Open all contract accounts and agree to enter into the process of considering the offense Joining the Coalition is a mission to help restore the undercover route back to the city. It is not an escape from judgment. He allows the people to appoint followers to inspect the work. and keep the dissenter's seat at every meeting.
When leaving the city The boy who delivered the bread asked if he would become king again. Silakhram took longer to answer than the Rajakru had allowed. “I will come back and listen to your answers,” he said. The ten faces did not agree on everything. But no page was closed. The strength he was learning was therefore not always about having a single command. If it is living with multiple voices long enough to make decisions accountable to those who must live with their results,
