Rectangular table and said, I shall reorganize. I will combine the Knights assistant with my assistant, Lady Miranda. I will hire a Kingdom Reporter. She will be located in the little room at the back of the Chapel. Henceforth, she will be called Abby. Further, we will have a new pro for the great green expanse. And finally, I will name a new Sheriff, Sheriff Julia, to make sure all of the residents are compliant. There were many questions of course, but in the end, the knights all cheered the plan. From then on, ORPS was in a state of bliss. As King Ed the 1st, approached his fifth year of his reign, he began to become unsettled. He had indeed promised Sir Gregory, a reign of 3 to 5 years. As he thought about that, he was quite conflicted. Yes, he wanted to retire and have more time with Dora, David and Douglas. But he was still under the Orpian spell. He loved his kingdom and its residents. He liked being among the masses. What should he do. You guessed it, he went to his desk and took out scroll number 3. He untied it, unfurled it, and read, “ Prepare 3 Scrolls ”. He knew then, in an instant, he needed to turn over his realm to a new King, or Queen. Ed, you were, in my mind, a real miracle. For me, the Board and the owners. I consider you a great leader, mentor and friend. I wish you and your family great happiness in retirement. And finally, you shall, hereby, go down in ORPS History, as King Ed the First of ORPS. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
