Chapter 8 - Born to Rule

If anyone was blessed by heavens, it should be Loukas and possibly no one else. Born to the royal family of Tenet, future ruler of the kingdom of and the only child of his parents, the King Thadeus and Queen Lanaya. The moment he was born, all the subjects of the kingdom rejoiced for his birth was highly anticipated for more that 15 years. It could be said that the royal family of Tenet was afflicted by a curse, only one child will be born in the ruling family in every generation and the ruling monarch can only reproduce after the 15th year of marriage. And if the ruling monarch failed to produce an heir after the 20th year mark of the royal marria, the royal house of Tenet will fade into oblivion. In every generation, this royal house tried as hard as they could not to embark on that long years of waiting for an heir. A lot of their ancestors in the past tried to obtain a lot of concubines for them to be able to have children but alas, it was not possible. Only their first wife, the Queen could bring them heir. The hitch for this curse was, if the Queen died or the King died before the year mark, the royal house will be no more. And so, every child in each generation for this house is much more precious than anything else in this world. Thus, when Loukas was born the royal house with all the subjects of the kingdom rejoiced and can finally breath a sigh of relief for the royal house still strives to this current generation.
