Perhaps I'll call him king like you suggested, or roman king/emperor. The point of the story is not really to tell a story, but to be attractive and when the reader has read it and has reached the sudden end of the story, he's left imagining the rest, or parts before it, or himself involved in the story.

Would you say that my story succeeds at that? I read my story again and I don't like it. I think it's silly. At the time I wanted to write it though.
