Allanic is a deeply resourceful and intelligent man. It's his cunning that helped him outsmart the giant and have him kill his daughters first and now his wife. I'd say that's justice duly served to the wicked giant. And also Allanic was able to acquire the golden cage the king was after though after being happy for some moments he fell into depression again. He may yet find something else that might amuse and cheer him and maybe through Allanic.
That was an interesting tale you shared, @vcelier.
I'm certain your time out with your daughter went really well and you both were happy. Happy birthday to her. And I wish her a long and happy life. And also to you and your entire family. God bless and goodbye.
