Side story 5: How did Emperor Batang V rise to power? (Read parts 1,2,3,4,5)
Emperor Batang V - P.O.V
My name is Batang V. I'm the Emperor of the Batang people. At my birth, I was the second in line to the throne behind my late elder brother, Dida the first who was killed at the age of fifteen years by the Monster of the forbidden mountain during a promenade.
I grew up in the imperial palace as Prince Bila and after the passing of my big brother, I became Crown Prince Bila. I was fourteen years old back then.
My father, the Great Batang IV, began to initiate me to the duties of an Emperor and insisted that I should always be righteous but firm and severe when the circumstances commanded to be so.
He was extremely popular for being the Ruler under whom the greatest enemy that our land had ever faced, perished: the Monster of the forbidden mountain.
