Imagine you have a very important job, just like a king. But unlike you, a king has to work longer hours than anyone else! Peter II was also a king who was very important, and he had a lot of things to do every day.
Peter II had to spend many hours each day meeting with important people to discuss important things. He also had to make sure his people were safe and happy, and that everyone had enough food and shelter. This meant that he had to work a lot harder than most people did and spend more time doing his job.
Some people even say that Peter II didn't stop working even at night because he had to be prepared for any emergencies that might come up. That's why his hours were so long!
Despite all of this hard work, Peter II loved his job and tried his best to make things better for his people. His long hours may have been tiring, but they were worth it to him because he wanted to make a difference in the world.
