Oleg (“o-Legal” geddit) thrown out of Transylvania for rentseeking saved himself when discovered stealing by ungainly giant and keeper of the kings game Reg Margin. Reg is under pressure from the royal court because someone is stealing the king’s game, and he has been deprived of his rations. He is starving when he unwittingly stumbles upon Oleg, a strange and alien looking creature, who is camped in the Bretton wood and is roasting a hare he has just stolen from the kings trap. Reg goes to snatch the trickster but he quickly turns the situation round by offering Reg some game, which he credulously takes, only to be caught red-handed by the king’s guard, who were following orders to audit and inspect the king's hunting grounds.

Reg is under pressure from the royal court because someone is stealing the king’s game, and he has been deprived of his rations. He is starving when he unwittingly stumbles upon Oleg, a strange and alien looking creature, who is camped in the Bretton wood and is roasting a hare he has just stolen from the kings trap. Reg goes to snatch the trickster and ties him up but he quickly turns the situation round by offering Reg some game, which he credulously takes, only to be caught red-handed by the king’s guard, who were following orders to audit and inspect the king's hunting grounds. Oleg explains that Reg was innocent, and that a nasty-looking Romanian thief stole them. “Who are you then?” | ||
“I am a victim too!” | |||
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. 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. | ||
Oleg in time persuades the villagers to mind the forest, persuading them for a small fee that they may enjoy the beauty and nature as long as they take nothing and keep an eye out for hunters and poachers. | |||
Oleg in the meantime ingratiates himself to the king, with fantastic but delusional presentations about the ''forward'' wealth of the kingdom, entitling him to a yet greater share of its present wealth, and warning him of great dangers in Romania, and encouraging the king to send his army into the Carpathians, where they are beset by brigands and vandals. One day Reg stumbles across the Synthæse. | |||
