Because it was inhabited by some special powers . But in the beginning , this planet had no name and neither was this planet so beautiful .

there is also a story , behind the name and powers of this planet . This story is like that … …

This land is the land of the King's . Where the rule of King's was going on from the beginning . There was a time when the rule of " King Arnold " was going on there . King Arnold was a great ruler . No one never saw the face of sorrow under his rule . He had two sons in his family and his wife had died . His son's were named " Shen " and " Harold " . Shen was his eldest son and Harold was his younger son .

King Arnold had a very deep faith in God and he used to follow the path made by God very well . His heart and soul both are very clean . He performed every duty of his being the King with great integrity and honesty .

One day , a great disaster struck the land . An epidemic started spreading on the land . Due to which people started falling ill . The water of the rivers started decreasing on it's own and gradually dried up . And along with it people's fields also started drying up . Now along with the epidemic , problem of hunger and thirst were also come upon the people . In this way many people died in the state .

Everyone started asking for help from King Arnold …

" My Lord " do something . Do something My Lord . Otherwise , our family and our children will die of hunger and thirst . This land is about to be destroyed . Find a way out My Lord . Protect your people . "

King Arnold himself did not understand , " what to do " . He wanted to save his Empire . But how ? He didn't know this . He could not watch his people die . in the end , he had no choice , but to ask help from the God .

He ordered his soldiers …

" Go and go and gather all the people of the empire at one place . Now only God can help us . "

The soldiers did exactly that . They made this announcement to all the people of the state , that …

" Tomorrow all the people have to gether in the state . Everyone will pray to God together with the King Arnold . "

All the people did the same . The next day they all gathered at one place with the King . It was getting very hot at that place . There was not even a trace of moisture .

all the people of the state had become very weak due to hunger and their throats were drawing up in that heat .

The King along with the people of his empire prayed to God .

The King looked up at the sky . Folded his hands and cried out the God , with all his faith and dedication . He prayed to God …

" O God , you have created this world and you have made me the King of this land . I am your child and you have made the people of this land my children . I cannot see them and this earth of mine being destroyed like this . Please have mercy on me and give me someone , who can save my earth and all my people . You gave me the responsibility of all these people , but without you I cannot fullfill this responsibility . Please help me God . "

God listened to the King and the sky started thundering loudly . All the people standing there started getting scared due to this thunder inthe sky . After some time , a bright light came out from the middle of the Sky . After this all that light gets absorbed back inside the sky . And a green glowing " Charm ball " starts coming down from the sky towards the earth , due to which the whole Sky had turned green .

From that light a green glowing charm boll starts coming towards the land and it comes and falls in the hands of the King . The King blessed by a green glowing charm boll .

And then a voice came from the sky and said to the King …

" This shining glowing " Charm ball " is the little straw of my power , which will act according to your command . I give the responsibility of this " Charm " to you and it will only be the responsibility of you and your descendants . As long as it is with you , you and your people will not face any kind of trouble on this land . Never let it fall into the wrong hands . Now you have to protect it . "

Then that sound stoped coming from the sky . And sky became the same as before .

The King Arnold first thanked the God . Then he looked at the " Charm " and he ordered …

" Go , ( the King ordered ) and get absorbed in this earth . "

On the orders of the King , the " Charm " went and got absorbed in the land .

When the " Charm " went and got absorbed in the land . Suddenly , there strong winds started blowing and the rain clouds started pouring in . The weather of that land changed . The scorching sun turned into shade and started raining there . Then the land there getting started moist and slowly sprouts started sprouting in it .

Small plants started growing everywhere and the scorching sun turned into the rainy season . The place which is a while back was completely dry and Barren , now had become very green and beautiful .

At the place on the land , where the charm got absorbed , a big , dense and full of flowers grew a tree .

The King and all the people there bowed their heads in front of the tree and bowed to it . Thus the name of that Earth came to be the land of the " Charm " . It was revered to them , because it was the straw of the power of God .

All the people were there very happy , they started cheering The God and The King . The King is also very happy to seeing his subjects very happy .

In this way , in a few years , the people of there , under the leadership of the King Arnold , did a lot of work without harming the nature . They created a natural modern world .

One day the King Arnold was resting under the tree of the same " Charm " and he was remembering the beautiful moments spent with his wife . Then a friend of his came there . His name was " Acton " . He was the commander of The King Arnold . He came and sat besides the King Arnold . The King realised his presence and open his eyes .

Commander Acton said …

" My lord , if I am right , then you are thinking about the queen . "

King Arnold smiles and said to him …

" You know everything very well , Acton . I always miss her . She was my wife . The most precious person in my life . Which is no longer there . "

Acton said …

" My lord , I know you love Queen very much . That is why , even after her departure , you did not let her go anywhere . Even after her death , you kept her alive in yourself . You always served your Empire as a King . You took care of your family , by taking the place of the Queen . You have performed the duties of both King and Queen . But my lord … now the time has come to fullfill one more duty . The time has come for you to announce the next King of the " Land of Charm Both prince , " prince Shen " and " prince Harold " are now ready to become the King . You should choose the future King of " Land of Charm " from " prince Shen " and " prince Harold " . "

The King Arnold looked at commander Acton in surprise and said …

" Acton what are you saying ? Why should I choose King among my two son's ? Everyone is knows this thing , that Shen is the only King to be . Because he is my eldest son . And according to the policy , the eldest son of the royal family is the future King . "

The commander apologized to the King and said …

" Forgive me my lord but the security of the empire and it's happy future does not depend on the policies of the royal family . But by it's King . You have always protected this Kingdom from all kinds of evil and calamity . Therefore , the king of this Kingdom should also be like you . Therefore , you should not choose the King according to our policy , but think carefully and choose a King out of the two Prince . Because at this time the question is not of rights , but of the entire empire . This entire Kingdom is your child and in whose hands the future of your children will be safe . That is , what you have to decide . "

After all the discussion with the commander , the King gets confused . he was thinking the same things while sitting in his room . After all , which of the two Prince's is well qualified to become the King . But he was not able to decide anything , because in his eyes both his sons were very capable . at last he found a very simple way to choose it .

He sent a soldier and called both his sons . After a while the soldier went and called what Prince's . The Prince's came and the King asked them to sit .

Harold asked to King Arnold …

" What happened father ? Why are you looking so upset ? "

The king sat beside them both and said to them …

" Yes son , I am disturbed and I want you both to take away my worries . "

Shen said …

" What is that worry , that bothering you , father . You tell me . I will definitely solve it for you . "

The King said …

" Listen ;

I have come to know that , a soldier in our Court is one silver coin in every month . When I asked the rest of my soldiers to investigate it , they came to know that , he was doing this for his family . A lot of people are lived in his family . Whose expenses he cannot meet with the amount given by us every month . Instead of asking me for help , he thought it better to steal . but he has not done this theft , because of any wrongdoing . So what do you both think that , I should forgive him , when he deserves punishment ? "

First said Shen …

" Father , crime is crime . Whether it is small or big . That soldier may have committed theft for whatever purpose , but he will say that , it is stealing . Due to this he has also become a thief and thieves always consider their rights over the things of others , which is never right . Therefore , he deserves military punishment . He must be punished and as far as his family is concerned , the responsibility of all of them will be ours from now on . "

Then the King Arnold asked to Harold …

" What do you think , Harold . Is Shen saying absolutely right . "

Harold said to the king Arnold …

" Father , Shen is my elder brother . He has a little more experience in every matter than me and he will do everything thoughtfully . But still I want to put my opinion before you . I think we should increase the salary of that soldier a little by not punishing him . With this he will be able to meet his family's expenses and he will not need to steal . Then he will not even become a thief . You are a king and the character of a King should be to give forgiveness . According to me , every act is right which is doing good to another and every action is wrong which is causing harm to another . "

After hearing the side of both the prince's , the King told them …

" Okay , now you both can go . I'll look into your assumptions . "

The King considered both of them for a long time . In the end he found that , Shen was not fully qualified to be a King . Because there is no feeling of forgiveness in his heart . He cannot show mercy to even a petty criminal . Whereas , this is the most important quality inside a King . That is why , he decided to make Harold the King . The next day , the King called a meeting , all important people were present in the meeting. In which , all the ministers of the empire , commander and both of the prince's were included .

All the people present in the meeting were thinking that , why did King Arnold suddenly gather all of us in the meeting ? Shen and Harold also looking like each other . They were thinking that , why the father has called the meeting ? Only the commander Acton had an idea , why this meeting had been called ?

The whole assembly was discussing with each other about this . After a while , the King Arnold also comes to attend the meeting . As soon as he comes , the whole assembly gets up and stands . The King sits on his throne and all the people also sit with him . First the King looks at all the people present in the meeting and then says …

" I know that , the same thing is going on in the mind of all of you that , why I have called the meeting all of a sudden . But there is a big reason behind it . I want to make a very important announcement here , in front of all of you . "

Why did the King Arnold suddenly call a meeting , after arguing with both the prince's ? What is going to be announced in this meeting ?
