They had plenty of food to feed every single person of their country; everyone had enough money to live their best life; and they all lived in the most protective environment. Until… Until there came four strangers in Faithland ‘Lie, Deceit, Opportunist & Greed'. .As soon as they entered the threshold of Faithland they started to conspire against the great Kings and Queens of Faithland; a brutal war broke within, killing many leaving few. People of Faithland decided that the only way to live safely is to allow Lie, Deceit, Opportunist& Greed to be nominated as the permanent rulers of their country. However, with this decision of the citizens began the doom of ‘Faithland’. The life of happiness and joy changed to life o
