Instead he finds suspended bridges, iron-hulled ships, and a bustling market selling iced delicacies — all created by the very officials his court expelled. Their thriving haven exposes the deep corruption festering within his own administration, forcing the sovereign to confront the truth about his rule and the people he discarded.
