King of Jesters


 King Engeramus was the ruler of the island kingdom, Peator. He was known for his bawdy sense of humor (he often say that if he weren't king, he'd like to be a comedian), and for his good administration and diplomacy. He knew he had to be careful with the growing power of the Leifre empire. 
Suddenly, one day, he awoke in the body of a woman, and an unfamiliar face sat on his throne. When he complained to the court wizard about this, wizard told him, "If it is true, then King Baynard had most likely found the genie lamp and rewritten reality, and since that, nothing could be done about it." Wizard said that.Engeramus, or rather Bolewen now, should assume her role as court jester.

 Engeramus tried to convince others that he or rather now she was the true king, but no one believed Bolewen, not helped by the absurd harlequin outfit she wore, and the fact that despite the change, she still had a tendency to tell ribald jokes. She was adored by the court and nicknamed "King of Fools," which only frustrated her further. However, the final laugh belonged to her, as King Baynard was not a good king, and the Leifre Empire took advantage of this, quickly conquering Peator in 1657 year, and publicly beheading the king. 
"I accidentally mixed up a bottle of alcohol with a magic lamp. Now I'm sipping on jinn & juice," Bolewen said among her many jokes upon witnessing the king's death. After his death, she remained at court, now under the rule of a new viceroy, and entertained the new rulers from Leifre. And she loved to laugh at the irony that, if not for this wish, she would probably have been the one to lose her (or rather his then) head.

She then published comedy entitled "The King of Jesters".  "King of Jesters", was full of vulgar jokes and jokes in the story of how the king swapped bodies with a jester, although it did not meet with a good opinion among the high-born, it was loved by the commoners, and over time it became a timeless classic.
