The King encountered similar hardships on many occasions, resulting in the loss of teeth and/or money, enduring conflicts with people, and many other tribulations that resulted in painful blows.
Little by little, some people were struck by his righteous behaviour and cancelled their foolish oaths.
One day, while the King (always dressed in humble attire) was busy explaining the facts to people, convincing them to give up their perverse oath and seek virtue in themselves, he encountered a man with a rifle, who pointed it at him and began to scream with hatred.
At first the King felt a pang of fear in his heart, but then he composed himself and asked the man kindly what the problem was. The man continued to scream sentences full of hatred.
Trying to be calm and gentle, the King told him the facts about the oath. The man was struck by the selflessness of the person in front of him, but he was not in his right mind, and a killing madness was stirring inside him. While trying to suppress his rage and fidgeting in a stra, he fired the rifle and shot the King.
Voices of astonishment and fear rose throughout the inn, and then there was silence for a few seconds. Miraculously, the King staggered to his feet and said everything was fine.
The bullet had left only a minor graze near his shoulder. After seeing this, the man with the rifle began to cry. Feeling tremendous relief, he broke his oath, dropped his rifle and went home with a bright face.
Later, most people had renounced the evil oath and the overall situation had improved (however there were still some acts of extreme violence from those who didn’t want to be saved), then God’s Judgment came.
The illusions were swept away in a moment, and the King reappeared in his bright clothes and glittering gold. Everyone burst into tears and acknowledged their ruler. The King finally recognized himself and remembered who he was.
