Introduction

Princess Sangoi is a destitute orphan. She is taken to the palace and brought up by the king as his daughter. Though Lacuna despises her, the people love her and they elevate her to become their leader.

Illustrations

Princess Sangoi is proof that great things come from small beginnings. We learn from Menninger a man of the cloth that she is King Kutula's adopted sister. She was an orphan and was picked up from the gutter. She was raised in the palace to become princess.

The people of Kutula prefer her as their leader as opposed to Kutula. They shout that they want her as their leader during her late father's commemoration ceremony. Lacuna creates a new ministry of Reclamation and Remedies and makes her minister. She is married to a doctor with whom they have children. Later she is made the leader by the people and she leads them to remove Lacuna and his friends from the palace. The people of Kutula want her to lead them in rebuilding Kutula after the misrule by Lacuna.
She is the one who gives orders to detain Lacuna and his leaders yet at one time she feared for her life and had nothing. Sangoi starts as an orphan with no home but in the end she becomes the leader of Kutula. It is possible to start small and finish in a great way.
