the messages

            The various Kings and Queens of the infinite land only thought they were communicating to each other, while, all along, the royal messengers had instead been creating and delivering their own forged notes between the unwitting monarchs, and had, in the course of that real and unreal eternal dialogue, never once taken the actual imperial message from one leader to another. Thus those worthy and ignorant Kings and Queens of the land forever hated, feared, and applauded one another, without ever hating, fearing, or applauding one another.
