After daydreaming for a while, Thor shook his head and brought his thoughts back to reality.
"There are three kings who are officially invited to attend the banquet. Their names are Gilgamesh, Iskandar, and Altria."
Frigga thought about it and found that she had never heard of these three people. They should not be famous, at least not famous in Asgard.
Thor naturally knew this too, because due to the asymmetry of information, he was usually the confused one when people were shocked by their names.
"Gilgamesh is the fifth king of Uruk, a city-state of the Sumerian dynasty in ancient Mesopotamia. He is the protagonist of the oldest epic poem in human history, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and the oldest heroic king."
Thor touched his nose after he finished speaking, "Although I still don't understand what this Uruk is, and I haven't read that epic, it's probably about an ancient king who is very famous and powerful there."
Frigga nodded and motioned for Thor to continue.
"Iskander is the greatest military genius in European history and the most famous conqueror of the Macedonian Empire. He is a man of great talent, bravery and good at fighting. He led his troops across Europe, Asia and Africa, and spread ancient Greek civilization. He is known as the 'Conqueror King' and is also the most famous military strategist and politician in ancient history." Thor recited the information he got from the Holy Grail War by memory.
"Altria is the legendary King Arthur of ancient Britain. She is the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, a legendary figure who is almost mythical. She is known as the Eternal King. She is also the only female king among the three."
Frigga felt no emotion at all when she heard these titles, because her husband Odin's name was much more famous than these.
"You're not bad either. You're the eldest prince of Asgard, the god of thunder and lightning, a great general who has conquered the nine realms and made a great name for himself, and an important guardian of Asgard." Frigga racked her brains to come up with various titles for Thor.
Thor felt even more embarrassed. He knew that his mother was comforting him. Maybe before being exiled to Earth, Thor would be happy to accept these titles, but now Thor knew clearly that he was not worthy of them.
Ah, no, there is one who is worthy of it, the eldest prince of Asgard. But what's the use? The value of this title depends entirely on Asgard. It has nothing to do with Thor himself. At most, it can be regarded as a good reincarnation technique.
"Mother, you don't have to comfort me. How can there be a Thor who loses most of his divine power after losing his hammer? Besides, there is no such great reputation. I think people in the Nine Realms except Asgard and Midgard just think that I am a reckless man." Thor sighed. He really felt ashamed of himself. As a god, he couldn't even pass the fourth level after many attempts. His fighting power was not even among the top in the whole Asgard.
"Thor, if you really feel that you don't deserve these titles, then you must find a way to improve yourself, and then this problem will no longer exist." Frigga admired Thor even more now. A qualified monarch should have the ability to reflect on himself.
"I know, but I don't know what to do!" Thor said helplessly. He was not sure about the path he should take, and he became even more uncertain after experiencing the Banquet of Three Kings.
"Didn't those three kings give you any inspiration?" Frigga asked in a guiding manner. She believed that kings should have certain commonalities. As long as Thor could grasp this commonality, he would at least be on the road to progress.
While asking the question, Frigga removed the shield above the tavern. Odin had to listen to the things about the King's Road.
"I don't know... Mother, please help me analyze it." Thor said. He felt that he couldn't find the key point because his IQ was not high enough.
"Gilgamesh believes that the king is everything in the world, and all people must submit to him. The king is the guiding light of the country, the setter of the road, and the announcer of the rules. In simple terms, the king allows, the king takes responsibility, and the king carries the entire world on his back!" Thor said about his understanding of Gilgamesh's path.
The fate of a country depends on one person. Frigga feels that this king is a bit like Odin, but at least this kind of person must be strong enough.
"Iskander believes that the king is a pioneer, someone who stands in front of everyone, someone who guides everyone forward, someone who becomes the direction for everyone, someone who shines brighter than anyone else. In simple terms, he relies on his own charm and demeanor to attract and guide the people." Thor continued.
The king is extremely domineering. Those who agree with him can be regarded as the people, and those who disagree with him are all enemies! Frigga sighed in her heart. This man is worthy of being called the King of Conquerors. However, a country governed by such a person will not have any diversity.
"Altoria believes that the king is the supreme being and the focus of responsibility. He must bear the misfortunes and expectations of all the people and must strive to make everyone happy. In simple terms, he must devote himself to the country and the people until his death." Thor said finally.
The Holy King, a practitioner of idealism, never gives up on anyone for any reason! Frigga doesn't like this overly idealistic way of kingship, because sometimes not giving up on anyone means giving up on everyone, and utopia is not in line with reality.
"Mother, who do you think I should learn from?" Thor looked at Frigga expectantly.
Frigga was silent. She had originally wanted to find common ground with Thor, but now she was extremely confused. These three roads had some intersections, but none of them completely intersected. She didn't know what to tell Thor that would be useful to him.
"Thor, I can't answer this question for you. Why don't you ask the fourth king?" Frigga looked up at Thor and said. The fourth one refers to Odin, the god of gods.
Thor also knew what his mother meant, but he was a little hesitant. Every time he talked to his father, they would start arguing after just a few words. Could his father really give him appropriate advice
Frigga was waiting for Thor's answer, and Odin was also waiting for Thor's choice in the palace. Of course, while waiting, Odin was also thinking about the question of the king's path, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if he couldn't say anything when Thor came over.
"Mother, perhaps you are right. I should indeed ask father for advice on this matter." Thor stood up and said. Anyway, he was already in such a mess that he couldn't figure out what to do. The worst result of a talk with Odin would be just like this. So what was there to worry about
