The Martial Unity

An uproar had sparked in the political sphere of the Kandrian Empire.

One that shook the entire political landscape and the dynamics of the Kandrian Throne War.

Prince Randal, Princess Ranea, Princess Rafia, and Princess Raemina had each abruptly forfeited the Kandrian Throne War!

The announcements spread like wildfire as each of the four royals released statements to their respective factions. The entirety of the upper echelons of the Kandrian Empire was utterly bewildered by the simultaneous decisions of the four royals to forfeit their claim to the throne.

The ones who were most shocked, of course, were the closest patrons, donors, and benefactors of each of the four royals. None of them were able to understand what was happening.

"What is the meaning of this, Randal?!" Grand General Aramoeus bellowed at the royal prince.

"I have taken some time to introspect," Prince Randal replied calmly, closing his eyes. "I have decided that I no longer wish to ascend the throne. I appreciate all the time, effort, and capital that each of you has invested in me, but unfortunately, I am unable to return it. I hope you understand."

"What?!"

"Come back!"

"How dare you?!"

The entirety of the war room stared at the Military Prince with shock as the man quietly left the room, ignoring any demands for justification.
