A powerful emperor decided to build an estate, for his family, staff and security forces
So he choose a region to build, that was far from the ruling center of cities, and people
It would be built upon the edge of a river system, surrounded by trees and lush plants
The point was to give a sense of isolation, for the emperor was dutiful and exhausted
His laborers downed hundreds of trees, and built roads to enable the project to work
Before the great project was completed, the emperor died of poison, his family killed
The replacement emperor was a fool, and very soon the rich and vast empire collapsed
The wilderness grew back slowly, and the unfinished estate was still quite beautiful
So in the end, while he was dead, the desires of the emperor seem to be fulfilled
