There lived a merchant, King trusted him for his abilities, so he was free to roam in the palace and could met the king without any guards’ hindrance.
Once the merchant arranged a big party and invited everyone from the kingdom but forgot to invite a royal servant. The royal servant came uninvited and sat on a royal seat which was reserved for other people. At this the merchant became angry and threw him out from the party. The party went well.
But the royal servant thought about a revenge. As the servant could move freely in the palace, once he found the king half-slept, he got a chance and murmured to himself that he saw queen in merchant’s embrace.
At this king became jealous and started disfavoring the merchant. Now the merchant could not enter the palace as freely as before. Once he was stopped by the guards, at this the royal servant laughed and the merchant knew who was behind all that.
Merchant invited the royal servant at his home, asked forgiveness and treated him with all respect. Royal servant said that he would change the king’s mind once again.
Days passed, again when the servant found the king half-slept, he murmured to himself that the king ate something at undesirable place.
King thought that the royal servant was kind of insane and he shouldn’t have treated the merchant like that. Next day the merchant was called and the king granted him all the favors.
