By Obani Oluwabiyi Anthony Boyede Greenlyte

What happens when a kingdom loses its conscience?

In the heart of the fictional Boyede Kingdom, a dangerous ruler rises, Crime. Armed not with justice, but with greed, tyranny, and fear. Opposing him stands Flag, a courageous chief torn between loyalty and rebellion. What unfolds is not just a battle for power, but for the soul of a people.
