Kapitel 951: 951 The Fallen King

Petros cleared his throat before beginning his story with a nervous glance around the area. 

"I will start with the basics, as there is nobody here who doesn't already know. The King ascended by using a gift from the Divine One to murder his parents and steal their power. He did not make King Rank naturally, it was a result of the spell. 

That has led to a severe inferiority complex, and an irrational fear that the same thing will happen to him. 

He is terrified that his Nobles will overthrow him, so he sends constant missions to the Demon Realms in order to cull off those with ambition so that they don't get too close to his own power level.

It is only those of us who are older than he is and didn't care when the King changed who have been somewhat immune to his insanity.

Even then, it is not absolute. As you know, as even I was sent on a mission to the Ancient King of Magic's home castle, knowing he was holding court."
