Like a circus of Thailand, Mongolia, Krygyzstan, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Ukraine, and Russia, etc. as places of oriental-ish destinations. The smelly warmth of his girl's body odour was an indicator of pheromone releasing when his girl was seduced by him, as he commanded his hot-scented girl to stay with him. He untitled himself, because he's a king without crown. He preferred naturality, without any artificial equipment. Because his royal highness is in his physical genetics, phenotype taxonomy, and soul. He throw away the worthless crown, as he discarded his title.
