Mag Alex had been given many titles—dragon slayer, Griffin Knight, Imperial General. Since the first and second price were equally matched in strength, Mag Alex could almost determine the course of the war. He had been young and had gradually become the mainstay of the imperial army, so even the king asked for his opinion.
Most people thought Mag Alex would never side with the second prince; there was no love lost between the army and the Magus Tower. The army supported the first prince, and even the marshal spoke highly of him.
Now, the first prince had a better chance at winning the throne, or so they thought.
Mag pointed his pen at the second prince, and then at the first prince. Actually, Mag Alex hadn't decided to side with either until that incident. He had found the second prince mild and the first belligerent and witless, so he hadn't wanted the first to be the next king.
