    There are kings, and then there are pawns. the king is looked sometimes as a father figure, then sometimes as a money-sucking bastard, sometimes as anndaata, sometimes as…forget it. Well, ur book is seen as a non-fiction is another perspective by a pawn, but then its a gud news, coz ur story was too real to be fiction.
