Two days ago, at the Palace of the King, the Council of Elders was summoned by the King. He wished to discuss the position of his son as the heir to the throne.
"I am aware that the Council is considering replacing my son with another heir." He directed his words at his brother, the Duke of Blackstone House. "I know that under our laws, you have every right to do so if you can prove that my son is not fit to be one."
"Your highness, the Council members are still deliberating on this matter. We are still considering your son for the position." Duke Frederick replied to his brother's statement.
His brother was still the King, and he had much respect for his position as the head of their kingdom. He would give his son, Prince Edward, the benefit of the doubt that he might still be worthy of the crown.
