Capítulo 223: Puppet on a string...

The king heard the words of the elder Shaman.

In truth, this was the most difficult decision he had ever had to make in his life.

Before this, it was having to let his daughter go.

The way to the throne was easy.

Regardless of if it was a boy or a girl child, the first to be born was the inheritor of the throne.

However, fate played its hands in his life and now he had lost his daughter.

He took a look at all the faces in front of him.

Without anyone telling him, he could tell that they were all worried about the state of the kingdom.

He too was worried about such a future.

The new grandchildren he had been gifted were obviously talented but could he put any of them on the throne?

Aside from the fact that they knew next to nothing about the kingdom and its traditions or affairs, one of them had a broken dantain that could inhibit growth and was far too young to rule, while the other one had very good cultivation and even pride and wisdom in his eyes but was armless.
