The prince and the princess both look at their father as he heaved a sigh. It was apparent from the recent event that none of them succeeded, just like how he did back in his time.
He lost a daughter and recently a son, but both deads were justified. He couldn't mad nor was he filled with joy as the decision to pick the next ruler was on his shoulder.
"None of you deserve to be the next ruler yet," declared the king as he made the decision. He saw how his children competed, in his eyes, both of them were still immature. One put feelings over the other, while the other one put too much logic. One will surely put an honor in the kingdom in the future, the other will bring a massive fortune in the future.
Hearing the king's decision, both candidates had their heads hung down in disappointment. To be the ruler of Luderia was the highest grade of prestige one could receive in Deo, everywhere one went, people would bow upon his/her arrival.
