He lost his parents when he was a young boy, and he was put to work at a place that was kind of like a sweatshop, but not as bad. He was forced to work, in exchange for a place to stay and a minimal amount of food. One day he asks for more food, and the ruler of the orphanage orders him to get beheaded. The judge rules him as innocent, and he works for a child and his family. He is mistreated by this new family and decides to adventure the world, looking for a new home.”
