# 👞Goria the shoemaker has a bad boss👞 Is his boss the devil? Literally...well, no. Is the devil that Goria meets in a bar actually better than his boss? 100% yes. 😈 The Creature: Jack-in-Irons…
Anyway, Prince Mistofor needs a pair of new shoes, and he's gonna control a peasant boy's entire life just to get them.
The prince, though, named Mistofor, needed a personal shoemaker, and the boy was a quick study.
It was so long ago that he barely remembered his parents' faces when he was offered a better life in the palace.
And though there was intense competition, and he learned to guard his boots he crafted lest a fellow student's awe find them right before the master came through, he ascended.
Gorya, the boy, resolved to make the most of this honor, the one that he had been given to learn from the best shoemaker in the kingdom.
The scowls from the other boys and the misty eyes of his master watched him the day the prince himself arrived and announced that Gorya had won the position.
It was twice the size of his master's, and his master's had been crammed with servants and students.
This one had the greatest tools in the kingdom, bolts of soft leather and silks, all his.
There were so many shoes that the seneschal had to designate a ballroom for the prince's choosing.
The prince, Mistofor, was an enigma as he strode the aisles, his walking stick tapping the floor.
His countenance soured any time Gorya tried to tell him the significance of this or that pair, how one exemplified the conventions while the next defied them and elevated the craft.
