KT had left word with the Castle Guards that if a group of 5 Bens appeared at the Gate, they were to escort them in, see that they bathed, and ate, before bringing them before His Majesty.
So they arrived today, and after cleaning up, putting on fresh clothes and having their appetite satisfied, they appeared before Olde KT. Upon interviewing them, His Majesty discovered that each one had maintained a position of importance during their life times, but that after the death of their spouses, they had begun to wander, and had met each other on that long road to the Castle. They collectively begged KT to honor them with some, tho even meager, task to give them purpose in their living.
KT had just the assignment for them, returning each to their own personal importance. KT appointed each of them to an area of the Realm of Arkansas, to represent KT's Royal Kingdom. Ben Franklin himself was a special ambassador to France during the early years of this country's existence, and thus it was fitting to appoint them as KT's Royal Statesmen, one to NE Arkansas, one to NW Arkansas, one to SW Arkansas, and one to SE Arkansas, and finally the last one to central Arkansas. They are to report back to KT on a quarterly basis. They were completely amazed, and rejoiced to be KT's Special Ambassadors! Tonight they shall sleep in the tubes, with the ladies of their choosing, remembering that KT has many single Walking Ladies who often tire of their own company! Then after receiving special instructions and Royal Papers, they will journey out with 2 Kens to accompany each of them as their assistants. Each will furnished with a small carriage and a team of horses.
Life is now good for these Bens and has purpose, to spread goodwill among KT's Royal Realm!
The picture shows them when they first arrived!
