Elder Baldie was right about a lot of things.
For example, Victor was truly years ahead of Chiron.
He had been born into royalty, and probably already had most of the tribes supporting him.
At least Chiron knew that the double Lion headed tribe was behind him. That tribe alone had been behind the two generations of kings now. Their strength and influence was certainly something Chiron should worry about.
Secondly, even if Chiron was to decide to join the double Lion headed tribe, it would yield him no results. The tribe had already decided who it wanted as king. Chiron joining them would be him submitting to Victor.
However, Chiron had one advantage over his uncle, and it was an advantage that this elder and the rest of the giant untamed Snake tribe were willing to exploit. That was the fact that by right, Chiron was heir to the throne.
Regardless of his disability, an heir was an heir.
