Step 1: The group of 18 boys, aged 12 to 17, plan to go hunting with their falcons. However, they stop by a big hill and decide to pretend to have their own kingdoms instead.
Step 2: The boys gather together for a discussion to pick two kings who will lead the different age groups. They choose Clement, who is 17, to be the leader of all the boys aged 14 and below. Vico, also 17, is chosen as the leader of the boys aged 15 and above.
Step 3: Among the boys, there is one named Alban who is known for his smart remarks and is often called "Smart Alec." He is frequently laughed at by others, but he is also best friends with his cousin Clivent.
Step 4: However, the elder boys intentionally split up Alban and Clivent. Alban is unhappy with this decision and argues that Clivent is only 14, so he should not be in Vico's group. Despite Alban's objections, nobody listens to him, and he becomes quite frustrated.
Step 5: During the discussion, Vico comes up with an idea to resolve the issue. He suggests that they tie both Alban and Clivent to the same tree, and if they manage to escape within one or two hours, they can join the same team. Clement initially refuses this idea, but his opinion is disregarded by Airwin, Alban's 15-year-old brother.
Step 6: The boys proceed to tie Alban and Clivent to a tree. At first, Alban screams and kicks his legs in protest, but eventually, he bursts out laughing.
