*****************
Theodore felt betrayed and hurt for losing both his parents at the same time but Conan was his friend as he was the son of the royal advisor and lady-in-waiting of the queen, so it never got boring.
In the Rhuins primogeniture royal house, Sandra the concubine became restless as Theodore was soon to be crowned king. She wished she could do something to stop it but she didn't have to do anything because suddenly Theodore decided he wanted nothing of the title.
The two brothers had contrasting attitudes towards this inheritance. Theodore, despite being the heir apparent, showed little interest in the wealth and titles that awaited him.
Instead, he pursued his own passions, interests, and ambitions outside of the family legacy, he prioritized personal fulfilment over material wealth or social status.
