True strength

*Benjamin's POV*

Advisors came in and our my office, from the moment I arrived back in the palace.

Security in the palace had risen to maximum. But even I knew, that the most threat came from inside these walls.

I had been thinking about that for a long time. In some countries the king does not live in the same 'house' as their family members, those each live on their own. That would probably anger my family members, for reasons, I could really not understand.

Or maybe I could, because before I came on the throne, succession was not according to who was first born and so forth, but through favoritism within a family. In my case, it made my family more than corrupt. 

I should  of realized that instead of easing the situation, I had just put a bounty on my and my wife's head by changing the succession. From my coronation on, only my oldest born could inherit my title and the throne, should that oldest be a son.
