Hm...

Word has come of the King's death.  I suppose such a thing was inevitable, given his age.

I wonder if succession will follow the usual course.  I suppose the eldest son will now become king...

[w_ildfire]

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

[sly_ren]

Oh...? What makes you say that?

And who might you be?

[w_ildfire]

A friend of Prince Miles, if you will.

Have you been hiding under a rock?

[sly_ren]

I see... Do you think Prince Miles will become king, then?

Tch. Hardly. I'm rather isolated here, and I have better things to do with my time than sit around memorizing the names and positions of people who are miles away. If I come to the court, I'll attend to such things then.

[left_gauntlet]

Why wouldn't he?

[w_ildfire]

As a knight, you're trained to expected the unexpected, are you not?

[left_gauntlet]

Correct. But I'm also trained to know the difference between potential rulers and worthless maggots. Prince Jephry happens to be of the former.

[w_ildfire]

A knight blinded so pathetic by hero worship. Such an easy target.

[koukasen]

It's a tad presumptuous to say that the eldest will become king. I think it'll be the strongest one, though which of the four that is remains to be seen.

[sly_ren]

Well, that is the usual way of things. If things are otherwise, it will be much more interesting...

[koukasen]

In a boring existence such as this one, something like a battle for succession would be rather entertaining to watch, would it not?

[sly_ren]

I agree. It would be something to observe keenly...

[breakneck_spd]

Unless he's a total nutcase, probably. Which one was he anyway?

[sly_ren]

I believe Prince Jephry is the eldest. I do not know him personally, so I cannot comment as to whether or not he is a nutcase.

[breakneck_spd]

You can know one of them personally? Geez, I dont even know how many there are these days.

[sly_ren]

I am sure that some people do. What makes you think Prince Jephry is crazy?

[h_unted]

Maybe.

But no one's really sure yet.

[sly_ren]

So, it is not so clear what will happen, hm?

[h_unted]

If it was, things wouldn't be so... tense? I guess.
