"I am equally responsible for not paying attention to all the things that were happening in my kingdom. I should have known what my wife was doing behind my back and stopped her on time. Hence, for being an irresponsible king, I step down as well." King Adrian said, making everyone shocked to the core.
"Brother! What are you saying? Please don't do that. Our people would be devastated!" Marcus's father was the first to speak while others couldn't even find the words to explain their thoughts.
"No. A mistake is a mistake. And rules apply to me as well." King Adrian said without much emotion.
"But father, what about the kingdom? How will they manage themselves without a ruler? You can not step down like this!" Even Asterion lost his cool after listening to King Adrian's statement.
