[ WP ] The main character deals with the fact that they are actually not the main character .

I always dreamed of being the hero. I assumed my role as King at the young age of 17. My aspirations were limitless, I was going to end poverty and hunger, needless death and unbounded destruction. I was going to be the legendary King of Castile who saved his people and conquered the seemingly overwhelming problems that haunt society. 
 
 Now it is clear to me that I am the villain. My aristocracy is greedy and treacherous, I have to take gold from the poor, and grain from the hungry in order to appease their unreasonable demands of wealth. I have to crush the people who rebel. Stomp on their resistance till my kingdom's fields run red with blood. I have to bring death to my own people to stave off the threat of insurrection. I can not ascend the hill of problems, with every step I take, it grows more insurmountable and my feet slide down it's brutal path. 
 
 I dreamed of being the hero. But now I know, I am not.
