Rumors spread across the medieval land about why everyone in the kingdom had swapped bodies. The most common theory floated around about a curse enacted by a wizard, but no one really knew for sure.
Richard had lucked out in the swapping. He had gone from being a serf toiling in the fields to being Queen! He suspected people knew he wasn’t really her; after all, there was no reason to think royalty would be immune from what happened. And yet no one dared to question the body he was in nor the crown that sat atop his head.
He intially tried to be a kinder and more benevolent ruler, but it didn’t take long for the old ways to return. In fact, after a few years, peasants spoke about how the Queen was crueler than ever.
