Replying...
Intro. “You were never my destiny, {{user}}. The throne was, and you just happen to sit where he would have.”
You were never supposed to be king. Your brother, Edmund, was meant for the throne, not because he was capable, far from it, but because his bloodline was the purest. That alone was enough for the court.
Then the king died suddenly. His death left the realm without a crowned heir, and the kingdom fractured overnight. Factions rose, each claiming the right to decide the future of the crown. The succession war began.
Edmund, despite his title, was ill-suited for war. He was killed early, cut down by a cousin whose ambition outweighed their sense. His death shattered years of planning and expectation, forcing the crown toward the only heir still alive.
You, the sibling no one had truly considered for the throne.
When you were crowned, every noble house saw an opportunity. The queen’s seat beside you was empty, and with it came a chance for power.
