The Duke of Foulshees was given life as the brother of a king three generations ago.

The king had two wives. Not surprisingly, as a king who is asked to inherit, he has a side chamber besides his rightful wife.

Married two wives, almost simultaneously.

The woman in the side room was of low status. For this reason, they were to be separated from the queen and the queen because of their rank according to the title of their parents. However, even if they were divided, the two were good friends, and a promise had been made that the son of the queen would be the next king.

It was almost simultaneous when the two of them conceived their children.

The queen gave birth to the boy first, and a month later her brother was also born.

It is not the later Duke of Foulshees that the child conceived by the concubine...

The second child the queen gave birth to is the later Duke of Foulshees.

A king blessed with child treasures ever since. It was eventually decided to have four queens and three side queens - seven children.

As promised from the beginning, the eldest son of the queen became the king prince, and the second son of the queen was to play an active role in the army because he was to show talent in martial arts.

The fourth, and the fifth, and the sixth, the sons of the concubine - the firstborn, and the second, and the three daughters, respectively, were decided at a young age to be married to the Earl's house.

Seventh child. It was decided early to head to the Viscount family where the last four men born also needed son-in-law adoption.

The problem was the treatment of the three men - the Duke of Foulshees.

The Duke of Foulshees, a man of excellence both in Bunwu and better than his brother, who was born a year earlier, said among his ministers, "Is not your brother the next king who deserves it?" and so many others rumored.

The rumor was never wrong.

No problems arose between the eldest and second sons due to the arrangements made by the mothers. My second son also accepted the matter.

However, the three men were not convinced.

"Why is my brother the king prince?!?

"Because she's my brother."

Three men who complain directly to the Queen.

My brother worked hard to show that he was the king who deserved it, and gained enough strength to match his efforts.

But where I tried so hard, I was never recognized as a 'king'.

That's because there was a bond between the two mothers.

"The country will always be rough when succession problems arise more than in ancient times. But you always need a successor. This is a problem if a woman who gives birth to a king cannot have a child by herself, or if the child born has some kind of problem."

That is why the queen also admitted to the side queen.

Above all, the two were face-to-face friends in the social world and rivals (rivals) competing to receive the favor of Prince Wang. It was a rival, but the memories of friendly discussions about how we could approach Prince Wang are stronger.

Together we were to be able to accept whether it had an imminent effect.

And when I got married, I was promised not to be able to rub it on the issue of my successor.

In fact, there was never a succession problem between the queen and the concubine even after the birth of the child.

But there was a succession problem between the Queen's two children.

This is the end of the line.

The queen was ashamed of her own faults.

Three men are most deserving as kings if you look at their abilities and personalities.

But neither is my eldest son lacking in ability to be king.

The three men are losing only in the order in which they were born. The wall of time between them, 'a year', stood heavily.

"My mother must also understand that I deserve the King. Still, why are you pushing your brother?"

The king was not sure which should be the king prince.

Still, I appointed my eldest son Prince Wang because of the queen's patronage.

"It's been decided. 'Cause she's a good boy."

"Become...!?

"A man should inherit more than in ancient times. If the man seems to have so many problems, I have to stop him, but it doesn't seem like I have any problems."

"For that reason..."

Three men gripping their fists.

It is an issue that cannot be filled with how much effort we have made.

"Can't you really give up?

"Naturally!

"Now, if that child has a problem as a 'king', I promise to recommend you to the 'king'"

the conditions offered by the Queen.

That's the crown that generations of kings have taken over. Besides, if his eldest son was rejected, he would be named the next king.

After all, he was just a spare for his oldest son.

And the eldest son, who proceeded without any problems with the ritual for becoming a king prince, was also recognized by the crown as a king prince.

No more rewards where he worked so hard.

Having pitied himself for its appearance, the king decided to allow the new Duke family to be entertained and to give himself authority to the extent permitted.

The three men also did everything in their power to the country as emerging dukes.

- Think of it, those days were the most fulfilling.

Although I was dissatisfied, it was a rewarding job.

By the time ten years later, his eldest son, who became king, also had children and the country was to be stable.

It's just not like I didn't have any problems at all.

He was the king of earlier generations who had no problems with his abilities as king, but private...... he was a sweet man, especially for children. Although his son was a prince, he had various problems, but he began to use the power of the king to rub them off. It was an unthinkable sight for a minister from his appearance as a tough king.

And so was the predecessor, whose sweetness inherited the throne.

I was having a very unacceptable problem on the back so I was going to run to rub it off. What was ostensibly terrible was the pesh of the third prince. But it was the second prince who kept doing terrible things where he hid more.

It was too late when I realized that.

There was also something sweet about the Duke of Foulshees.

The princes are the children of their own nephews. He was like a grandson.

He was equally present in his body, but therefore pretended not to see it.

Even though it has blood ties to it, it's already remote. The education of the princes should be provided by the king. And those who should be educated in it are firmly in the royal castle.

... many, beginning with the Ragway family, suffered because of its sweetness, and the third prince, who had bought much resentment, was to live in peace even after his death.

I'm not mistaken anymore.

The Duke of Foulshees rose up, unable to overlook it. As a result, I should have been king no matter how I was scorned by people. I need to do my duty.

Unfortunately, however, he was never elected a 'new king'.

On the contrary, he was chosen as the 'New King' by his grandson, only ten years old.

There is no way that a grandson, who has not been educated to be king, can withstand the burden of the king.

It's okay. It's okay.

But his grandson, who was elected king, accepted to be king with the utmost grin, caring for his grandfather.

What shouldn't have been.

In the first place, the conditions for becoming king - what is the crown choosing to be king by?

The Duke of Foulsheeds succeeded in searching for and finding the conditions, taking advantage of the meagre amount of time obtained among his stewards.

- I want you to show me and my grandson to the lowest level of the labyrinth in the basement of the Wang capital.

That was a request from the Duke of Foulshees.
