Hyunjin POV: /////////
And so we were in the areas of asteroids C97, LK6, CB9, H4N, K$M and 1N¥. 
So we started visiting them.
 Felix suddenly got the desire to show me all these so-called planets. 
First we went to a planet, not listed above, for the little prince to visit his friends.
 A king lived on that planet.
 Clad in scarlet and ermine. 
The king sat on an ordinary, but elegant, throne.
 "Ah, here are some subjects!" even though it was just the little prince and me, he shouted.
 But the little prince wondered.
 "How do you know I will give you a subject if you have never seen me?" he did not know that the world was quite simple for kings. 
"Come closer so I can see you better!" the emperor ordered. 
The little prince looked around for a place to sit, but there was only one chair. He left the chair to me, although I wanted him to take it, I had a plan, so I sat down. And he, therefore, remained standing, and as he was tired, he yawned. 
"Yawning in the presence of the king is against etiquette!" the emperor said to him. 
"I forbid you to do that!"
 "I can't get over it." answered the little prince, all confused.
 "I traveled for a long time, and I didn't sleep..." 
I was already worried about him...
 "If that's the case, then I order you to yawn! I haven't seen anyone yawn for years. Yawning is for me a rarity. Come on, yawn some more, that's a command!" 
"It confuses me... I can't do it anymore..." said the little prince, blushing.
 If this was his friend, kill me.
 He was ashamed... 
"Um, um," answered the king and said something in their language that was unknown to me, but as I could interpret, it was something rude... 
My little prince looked offended.
Because the king cared, above all, that his authority  be respected. 
He did not tolerate disobedience. It was absolutely a monarch.
 But, as he was very good, he gave very reasonable orders.
 "If," he often said, "I ordered a general to turn into a seabird and the general disobeyed, it would not be the general's fault. It would be my fault." 
"Can I sit down?" asked the little prince shyly. 
"I command you to sit down!" answered the king, moving the hem of his ermine cloak with dignity.
 And I put my little prince in my lap.
But the little prince was shy.
 This planet is quite small, what did the king rule over? 
"Master," he said, "excuse me for asking..." 
"I command you to ask!" the king hastened to say.
 "Master, over what do you rule?" 
"Above all," replied the king proudly. 
"Over everything?"
 With a discreet movement, the king pointed to his planet, the stars, and other planets. 
"Over all that?" asked my little prince. 
"Over all!" answered the king.
 He's not just an absolute monarch, he's a cosmic monarch!
 "And the stars listen to you?"
 "Of course," said the king.
 "They obey me immediately. I do not tolerate disobedience."
 Such power amazes my little prince. 
And it was somehow normal for me. 
Or it's history, or other subjects I took, but somehow it was pointless... 
If he had such a power, he could see not forty-four, but sixty-two, and even a hundred, and even two hundreds of sunsets in the same day, without moving his chair! 
And as he became a little saddened by the memory of his small abandoned planet, he encouraged himself to ask the emperor for a favor: "I would like to see a sunset... Indulge me...Command the sun to set..."
 "If I command a general to fly from flower to flower like a butterfly, or to write a tragedy, or to turn into a seabird, and if that general does not carry out the given command, whose fault is it? Mine or his?" 
"Yours," answered the little prince firmly, sitting on my lap, waving his legs.
 "True, one should ask as much as he can give," concluded the king. "Power rests, above all, on reason. If you order your people to jump into the sea, they will start a revolution. I have a right to demand obedience because my orders are reasonable."
 "And what about my sunset?" asked the little prince who never forgot his questions. 
"Your sunset—you will see it. I will demand, but according to my sovereign wisdom, I will wait until the time is favorable."
 "And when will that be?"
 "Hm, Hm," answered the king, after looking at his fat calendar, "Hm, hm, that will be about seven forty. You will see how well my orders are obeyed." 
The little prince yawned, and snuggled into me, he lamented the wasted sunset. 
And then, as he got a little bored, he got up, took me by the hand, and said to the king: "We have no more things to do here. Let's go!"
 "Don't go!" the king was finally satisfied that he had subjects. "Don't go, I'll appoint you ministers!" 
"Ministers... of what?" I asked. 
"Ministers... of justice!"
 "But , who are we going to judge?" 
"You don't know, I haven't visited the whole planet yet. I am old, the carriage has no room, and walking tires me."
 "Oh, but I have seen it before,"said the little prince, leaning down and looking at the other side of the planet. "There's no one there either..."
 "Then you'll judge yourselves!" said the king. 
"That's the hardest thing. It's much harder to judge yourself than someone else. If you can judge yourself, then you're a real sage."
 "I. I can," said the little prince, "judge myself anywhere. I don't need to be here." 
I remained silent...
 "Hmm, hm," said the king again, "it seems to me that there is a rat somewhere on my planet, I hear it at night. You could judge him. Sentence him to death from time to time. So he will his life depends on your justice. But you will spare him every time. There is only one."
 "I don't," answered the little prince, "I don't like to condemn to death, and it seems to me that we are leaving here."
 "No!" said the king. 
But the little prince, who had finished his preparations, would not listen to the old monarch: "If you, your majesty, wish to be fully obeyed, then you might give us a reasonable order. For example, to travel within one minute. It seems to me that the conditions have been met..." said the little prince to him. 
When the king stopped speaking, the little prince took my hand, sighed and - started our adventure.
 "I appoint you ambassador!" cried the emperor hastily.
 He pretended to be important.
 "My God, adults are really strange, luckily there are people our age on other planets!" said the little prince by the way...
