Kapitel 953: 953 Royal Woes

Petros chuckled at Wolfe's question. "No, I don't have a wife, nor do I have children. That is likely to change soon, as I will be expected to have heirs and not leave the monarchy in chaos after a single generation."

"Don't they need to be at the King Rank to take over, though? How does that work?" Wolfe asked.

"The same as it did with me. When the title is passed, so is the power. Even if they were barely an adult when I chose to step down, they would move to the King Rank instantly. But if I were to die a premature death, then either my named inheritor, through a magical contract, or whoever killed me would get the power." Petros explained.

"So, it doesn't have to pass through the family." Wolfe commented.
