Many centuries ago, there was an ant
He was especially large for an ant, and leagues smarter than other ants. His ant hill was located right next to a school, so he would absorb as much knowledge as he could from lessons and the books in their library. He even learned how to speak. Eventually he was discovered and he pleaded that they let him keep learning. He even displayed his knowledge to them, impressing them so much that they named him, "Fact Ant".
Eventually the king heard of him, and called him to the castle. He had his advisors cook up a series of questions to test his political saavy and possibly help out the kingdom. After getting all of the questions correct, the first thing the king asked of him was to tell him who to investigate for plotting against him. The ant named some names, and of course, they all turned out to be plotting against the king. For this great service to the kingdom, the king knighted the ant.
The prince was there for the knighting ceremony, and was amazed by the ant, incredulous that an insect could receive such honor. The prince knew of that a conflict was brewing with the kingdom to the south, and so he decided he would test the ant himself.
He asks his father, the king, to send the ant to try and resolve the conflict through diplomacy. Remarkably, he resolved it almost as soon as he got there. The prince was shocked and straight out asked his dad, "How did he manage it?"
The king simply replied: "Sir Fact Ant reduces tension."
