King Charles I rules England and Scotland with an Iron Fist and levies his populaces with insupportable taxes to finance his own lavish lifestyle and the expensive annexation of Ireland. Oliver Cromwell, a Member of Parliament has risen up the ranks and has the support of many nobles, clerics, and officials. He tries to change the unfair system, and convince the royals to change their lifestyles but has no success. Parliament is growing impatient by the day and is looking for some covenant to conciliate the king and the people. However, the King never gives in instead he lies, breaks promises, and fights with power he assumes is divine This story follows two young men who live in this unwholesome environment, one is for the royals, and one is for parliament. Each one works constantly for their side. Since they were youth these two men were friends so they respect and tolerate one another.
