Mb | May 20, 2023 | Reading Time: 3 Min.
In the first section, King Bojji approaches the townspeople in his uniquely compassionate manner. Bojji's actions are consistently marked by humility and kindness, as seen when he dons simpler clothing borrowed from a villager after his royal attire is soiled. The king's empathy becomes even more evident when he helps children find their lost bird, Pippy. Bojji's gentleness and concern for his subjects visibly shape his reign, as he tackles the problems in his kingdom in a hands-on way.
Meanwhile, the missing Kage, Bojji's loyal companion, reminisces about the young king. Kage encounters a bird, likely a subtle nod to Pippy, hinting at the interconnectedness of their storylines. As Kage helps the bird find its way home, he seems to grapple with the void left by Bojji's absence.
In the second part of the episode, the focus shifts to Daida, who is visibly striving to prove himself as a worthy king. His determination is reflected in his rigorous training sessions, showcasing his commitment to the kingdom's physical defense. Though Daida initially hesitates, he eventually warms to the idea of visiting his constituents and following in his brother's footsteps.
This visit proves pivotal for Daida, as he directly witnesses the struggles of his subjects—particularly their concerns about the stalled construction of the soldiers' barracks. He experiences the consequences of his decisions firsthand and realizes the importance of promptly addressing his people's hardships. He even demonstrates physical strength and healing abilities when aiding a trapped worker, a stark contrast to his earlier reluctance to engage physically with his subjects.
At the same time, Miranjo, the presumed villain from the first season, is portrayed in a different light as she privately teaches children. When Daida discovers her secret activity, he is inspired to build a school in place of the old barracks.
By the end of this episode, both Bojji and Daida seem to come into their own as kings. They pursue different approaches, but their shared goal of serving their people is unmistakable.
