Ch 177: Clearing the Tower (5)

The king of Gollsia, Modgad Zokpi Tondria, was currently thirty three years old. He had taken the throne when his father died and he was twenty one at that time. And in the twelve years of his ruling, the kingdom of Gollsia had gone from being a moderately wealthy nation to a poor nation on the verge of destruction.

Modgad was the perfect example for what qualities a king should not have. The only reason he was able to take the throne was because he was the only son of the previous king. If the previous king had even an illegitimate son, then the officials and generals of the kingdom would do their best to make that illegitimate child their king without question.
