Eduard Agusty is dead.

I, Ezekial Nodion, now claim the right as King of Agustria.

...You can just up and claim it like that??

[myownmaze]

Eduard Agusty had no heir. Traditionally it can be claimed in such a manner.

[cupsandspades]

Barbarically you mean.

[myownmaze]

As has been the way of Agustria since it was created.

[cupsandspades]

You killed a man and stole his throne.

[myownmaze]

A man who murdered my best friend to bring me to war.

[cupsandspades]

That's quite the outrageous claim, what proof do you have?

[myownmaze]

You of all people should know of the cloak and dagger politics that runs Agustria and the way that people have been murdered for hundreds of years to play a rather unforgiving game of thrones.

What enemies did Asper Silvail have? None. Who could have paid for such a high priced assassin to be used on a man who had no rivals? Why would he have been assassinated?

Did you not hear it? The cries that Nodion murdered Asper to claim his land? Where do you think they started?

[cupsandspades]

I see assumptions and theories and absolutely zero proof.

And because I know these things I can chastise your ass for doing the same. You want to build your kingdom on someone else's blood? I'm disappointed.

Or is it that you're letting a sword get to your head?

[myownmaze]

...

[cupsandspades]

Think about it.

[myownmaze]

Bloody hell.

[cupsandspades]

Precisely what you raised just now.

[myownmaze]

It took four men...

[cupsandspades]

Count yourself lucky, then.

He met me in battle but... I don't remember anything.

I stepped into the throne room and saw him with his warhammer. Then nothing.

By the time I regained my senses the King and his wife...

Dragons.

Is this why father never entered the shrine? He knew this was what happened to those who carry this blade?
