Chapter 13 - Chapter 14: The Royal Slumber at the Palace

Finally, our lazy hero arrived at the palace courtyard, floating on his cloud. The King was pacing anxiously with his ministers because a threat of war had come from the neighboring kingdom. Seeing the hero arrive lying on a cloud, the King shouted, "O Hero! You have returned! Tell me quickly, did you get the magical pillow? Can it be used to defeat our enemies?" The hero barely opened one eye to look at the King, hugged the pillow, and said, "Your Majesty, we can talk about the war later. First, feel the comfort of this pillow. When the enemy soldiers arrive, just give each of them a pillow, and you'll see them forget the war and join a sleeping competition instead."

​Though initially angry, the King touched the pillow out of curiosity. The moment he touched it, all his worries vanished like mist. He began to doze off right there on his throne. Meanwhile, when the enemy soldiers reached the palace gates, they found the entire palace silent. No soldiers, no swords. They entered and saw the King, the ministers, and our hero all sleeping blissfully. Under the magical fragrance of the pillow, the enemy commander also dropped his sword and began to yawn. He said, "Wait, why are we bothering to fight in the sun? Why not take a little nap in this beautiful environment?" Within moments, the entire battlefield turned into a massive bedroom. Our hero smirked in his sleep. He proved that a good sleep is far more powerful than a bloody war. The King's kingdom was saved, but without ever swinging a sword.
