An explosion! And best of all, Sapphire disappeared after a wing was destroyed. Things are going just great. How are we supposed to win the war like this? We have to declare war in a few weeks and a huge disaster occurs. If we just didn’t have such incompetent fools in charge, I clench my fists at the thought, if only I was the first born, then the kingdom would be mine. Free to rule, free to change this kingdom how I please.

I spot a stiffly moving figure and recognize him,“William!” I call, running toward him. He’s in front of the guest hall, so that works out with the upcoming meeting.

“Hmm?” He murmurs.

“Wait, where’s Alexis? Shouldn’t she be here?” I ask.

“Oh. She’s in the hall. Only her, dad, and a couple others can actually enter, while we do all the paperwork” He mumbles.

“Well, that’s stupid. And you listened to them? What kind of idiot are you?” I ask fake appalled.

“Apparently the smark kind.” He smirks. “You can go in if you want. But you’re going to get in trouble.”

“Ever caring. You know if I was the older one, I would be the influence and you would follow me.” I say walking in, I pause slightly to say, “Also I would be the next king.” I stand straighter at William’s expression. The fool.
