In ancient times, a popular plot was known when an evil stepmother charmed, for example, an old king, and then, having gained complete power in the kingdom, began to oppress his offspring. Usually, a princess played this role, but here the stepmom happened to face, let’s call it, the “crown prince.”
This story is, well, quite long, but at the same time very instructive and exciting. Personally, I sooner or later expected the author to finally lose his temper and lash out at his evil stepmom – but I am really glad that reality turned out to be more indicative. I hope you like it too.
