The story so far… Encouraged by the Yang, the mysterious power behind her throne, beautiful Princess Yahoo has rejected the advances from the King of Red Mountain. His aim, with Princess Yahoo at his side, was to take over the rich kingdom of Search, already dominated by handsome Prince Google. Then a distant relative of the Princess, Uncle Carl, appeared on the scene. Now read on…
Unbeknownst to the King, Princess Yahoo began a secret liaison with handsome Prince Google. Rumours quickly spread that she had been free with her favours. Then it became official; the Princess had asked the Prince to help her in some very personal matters. The robe of Search was discarded for what some thought was cheap jewellery.
Uncle Carl was furious when he found out. It is not only Uncle Carl who is upset but many of the Princess’s courtiers – or ‘thought leaders’ as they are known – have become disillusioned as well. Many were seen to depart the palace in Silicon Valley, leaving their exotic titles behind them.
Uncle Carl has now set out to deal with the Yang who he blames for the loss of the Princess’s virtue. He has lined up a special gang of heavies to take control of the Princess’s fortunes. And he appears to have made a deal with the King of Red Mountain to come to the rescue of the fair Princess at the right time.
“But I don’t want to be rescued”, said the Princess, “Unless the King pays a proper dowry”.
The King may be looking for more than a bride. He is believed to have been talking to Rupert of Oz and the AOL, great magnates who, if he gained the Princess, might buy her palace and her jewels.
A meeting of the Princess’s own High Council, over which the Yang presides, is scheduled for August. Uncle Carl will be waiting with his henchmen.
