Chapter 1: Complications
Two days later,
"What!? The chosen successor is the third prince? Has the king gone insane!?" Exclaimed an old expert.
"It's absolutely true." replied a young man. "Master, the verdict just came out this morning. The news will soon reach across the country."
"This is madness! Third prince is the least deserving person of kingship. Although the king holds the power, such a decision impacts the whole kingdom and should be made after discussing with the crown prince himself and the three great clans. The laters would definitely object. This will develop into a complicated state" loudly thought the old man
"I'm afraid not, Master. The verdict has in it that anyone questioning this decision shall be beheaded with no mercy nor discrimination..." relayed the youth
"Hoh... This is interesting. The next days will not be peaceful. As long as the king is alive no one will voice any complaints... But after his death is another thing"
------
The capital... No, the whole country was caught by surprise.
No one expected that the king would take the crown out of the crown prince's hands and gift it to the weirdest of his sons.
It has to be said that the crown prince is leagues above his brothers whether in Cultivation, physique or statue. Countless clans sought his favor and even the three great clans held him in high regards.
High Mountain Kingdom was considerably large. It spanned across a huge mountain range. Although ruled by High Mountain clan, the kingdom holds many clans who swore allegiance to the royal clan. The mightiest of them were the the great clans: the War God clan, The Yin Clan and the Sang Clan.
Although ultimately suppressed by the king, they still have a saying in the kingdom's affairs. That's why the clan the people expected a commotion after the King's decision. Unfortunately they are left disappointed...
Within the Imperial palace,
"Your highness! You're not allowe..."
Bang!
The doors of the King's chamber were slammed open!
"Father! I demand an explanation!" Exclaimed a tall and slim white-robed youth. He had a long black hair and a handsome face to him. A mortal would mistake him for an angel
"Insolence! Since when do I owe you an explanation you unfilial son!?" shouted the king, on his bed as usually albeit weaker day by day.
"Father! what's the meaning of this!? why did you take the crown from me and gave it to my brother? what sin did I commit!?"
"idiotic son, have you not read the verdict? question me again and I will drop off your head!"
"Father you... Fine! We shall see when he reigns!" Red with anger, the prince stormed out of the room while emeting the origine realm aura leaving the guards and servents pale on the ground!
"All of you, leave at once!" Shouted the king.
Soon the chamber was empty...
"Your Majesty, Are you absolutely sure about your decision?" an powerful voice came from behind the curtains.
"Yes. Although guilty, it is for the greater good! I have not doubt that Long Shen's achievements will glorify our whole kingdom, even beyond what's his brother can do!"
"But unlike the crown prince, third prince will face the rejection of the people and clans..."
"So what?" Exclaimed the king. " this should be a form of tempering for Long Shen. If he wants to conquer the world he'd have to stabilize his kingship."
"But would you like to see him face of against his brother?" asked the voice
"That is my only regret! Sacrifice are inevitable for the future!" Responded the king
Sigh... I'm sorry son, but your fate is in your brother's hand...
