In palace, in the meantime, Tom Canty had woken up in his second kingship and captivity day, because he was starting to look like that at his stay in the palace, as an intolerable prison. At night he dreamt a dwarf was showing him a place in the Wood where each week would appear twelve pennies.
In the dream, with these coins Tom made his mother and sisters happy and they all lived well.
But when he woke up, he found himself in the huge apartment, where a long servants line were getting ready for the ceremony of dressing him up. In spite of his dislike for ceremonias and protocol, his firsts acts as sovereign were impeccably just.
For example, his intelligence allowed him to save two sorcerers to be burnt at the stake.
The evidences, Tom showed were not enough and they all praised his wisdom.
Lukily, he could also avoid the hanging of a beggar he knew and who was a good man.
In such way the hours of the false King dragged along...he worked as asovereign for a while and after that he was pampered and looked after as any other child on earth.
