“I am a victim too!” | Reg is a local thief — none too smart — and makes a living poaching game from the royal hunting grounds. One day, when checking his traps, he stumbles upon Oleg, a strange and alien looking creature camping out in the Bretton Woods and is roasting a hare he has taken from Reg’s trap. Reg snatches the trickster and is about to do him great injury but Oleg, a quick thinker, offers Reg some of his haul and, which he credulously takes, only to be caught red-handed by the King’s Guard, on a routine audit patrol, of the King's hunting grounds. Oleg leaps to Reg’s defence explaining to the King’s guard that far from Reg having stolen the game, he had in fact just dispossessed thieves of it and was returning to the King. When pressed, Oleg explains it was a nasty-looking Romanian thief. | ||

“I am a victim too! The thief kidnapped ''me''. Reg here ''rescued'' me. He is a hero.” | |||
The King’s guard show clemency and appoint Reg and Oleg to guard the forests which they do in return for a generous stipend. Oleg becomes Reg’s consigliere, for the cost of a portion of the King’s Rent (paid first of course). Oleg squirrels away his share, selling it at a mark-up to the other villagers who in turn pay fealty to reg, who pays a slice to Oleg. | The King’s guard show clemency and appoint Reg and Oleg to guard the forests which they do in return for a generous stipend.
