Chapter 4: In The Storage
Two boys could be seen in the storage shed: Leon Fou Bartfort and his older brother Nix Fou Bartfort. They were studying. Both Leons already had some basic knowledge, so everything they saw in the books was more or less familiar to them.
Leon decided to ask the second about what he knew of this world, and the second was happy to answer:
"The only thing I can recall right now is that this country is basically a matriarchy. The overall system is awful. You'd better ask Nix; he's right here. He's quite knowledgeable and will give you the details."
Agreeing, the first began questioning Nix about the kingdom. Within minutes, Leon's face—and the face of the second Leon—were filled with pure disbelief.
"Damn," muttered the second. "They didn't go into this much detail in the original... This is just horrible!"
The first suddenly started smiling, a mix of frustration and resignation on his face. He looked at Nix and noticed that his brother's expression mirrored his own: a smile tinged with despair.
"What's with that face, Leon?" Nix asked.
"Damn it all!" Leon shouted, then slumped over. Looking at Nix, he said:
"Brother, this world is absurd."
