I know nothing about this Kingdom of which you speak, but I effing love this piece. There's such an oppressive melancholy about the whole thing, and you know I'm a pitiful fool for that. You've always been good (as long as I've known you) about creating very individual and unique characters, but it seems to me you've gotten even stronger about really developing that sense of a full, complete, real person, even in shorter works. Well done.
