The knights especially loved Conrad. Perhaps because he was not only the eldest but also the strongest among the princes.
Stella understood that due to the turbulent times, the people loved the strongest. They wanted a strong ruler who could lead them to victory when war suddenly erupts. Prince Aiden who had an image as a spoiled and sheltered prince when he was young didn't have a chance to win the people's hearts.
'No wonder that in the original novel, the crown only went to Aiden after both Conrad and Fabian died. The people's grief and anger for the death of the two turned into support for Aiden when he was able to avenge his brothers,' Stella surmised.
Stella glanced at the two elder princes with her. They were both promising and good people. They were also powerful and charming in their own ways. She hoped that they wouldn't die this time and continue to live their life in the empire.
