The Master of Shadows ep2-3

With the meetings over and his power secured, Leopold walked his halls in quiet

triumph. The printing presses worked tirelessly, turning his grand deceptions into the

accepted truth of the age. In Europe, the elite feasted on the fruits

of a progress they never questioned. But in the Congo, that same progress

was paid for in blood, sweat, and total exhaustion. Yet,

far from the palace, the first seeds of doubt began to take root

in honest minds. Leopold smiled for the world, a master of shadows,

his great lie finally and fully accepted.
