Another Battle For The Crown

Prince Keiran fell into depression. He had killed his brother. He lost his father's favor. The empire hates him. The prince then turned to alcohol and women to forget about all his misfortune. After Prince Esmond's death, Prince Dillon was the new up-and-coming prince. But he felt that it was wrong for him to inherit and rule the empire. Prince Dillon was still mourning the loss of his brother Esmond yet he still had to attend his father's council. In the past few years, Prince Dillon has grown into a beautiful bachelor he has a well-built body, he is skilled in martial arts, he is wise, and he is kind. He was the perfect prince to be betrothed to but the prince refused marriage as he thought he wouldn't even have a chance to compete for the throne now that his brother Esmond was gone he swore revenge and began to secure his standing in the emperor council. On the other hand, the Nishanth Clan went to Tahari to persuade the prince to come and regain favor. They failed but Prince Keiran's mother noble consort Dianora passed away from an illness and the clan convinced the prince that he needed to be the one to sit on the throne to give his mother the greatest honor. Prince Keiran began to strengthen himself at Tahari and started doing martial arts. the prince then started to teach his sons that he was the rightful heir and that they would be the next in line to the imperial throne. Now both princes are trying to be the next emperor. while the two princes try to gain more power their father Emperor Alvis is having troubles of his own as his council is clashing with one another prince Esmond's supporters move to Prince Dillon and demand that the emperor execute Prince Keiran immediately before he usurps the crown. the emperor now old and weak has lost one of his sons and 4 grandsons due to fratricide. he had only two choices. ignore the council and risk rebellion or listen to the council and kill his son and grandsons to secure peace on the throne. he chose to not listen to the council and refused to kill his son. the council was filled with rage but the king spoke

"You saw me at my prime. I was gifted with three sons whom you've seen grow up together and raised by me. you were in court with them and became their mentors. when Esmond died we were all disappointed and angered by Keiran. look at me now I am no longer in my prime. I am weak in health and I'm most likely gonna die soon. my dear ministers my viziers please listen to this dying man's wish and let my son live."

though the council was enraged by the prince they couldn't help but feel sorry for their emperor. the emperor who was in his prime when his sons were born. now he is old and weak his sons are killing each other before him. they agreed to let the prince stay in Tahari for the sake of the emperor with only the request that he rest and get better. The empire is now facing the risk of rebellion because of the two princes.

prince Dillon now seeks someone to be betrothed with and consorts. he was granted by the emperor to choose whoever he might like and he found a few candidates as the chief consort.

List of possible consorts:

Madame Ayami Briar Deacon,

the one and only daughter of the grand vizier. a beautiful 19-year-old girl.. she has blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, a defined nose, and a defined face. she has been described as a kind and down-to-earth girl worthy of everyone's respect. She is clever and charming. She belongs to the Servus Clan.

Madame Mehri Aiko Amin,

the youngest daughter of the minister of war. She was already 20 years old but still had a youthful smile. she has brown hair, brown eyes, a defined nose, defined face. she is known as a loyal sweet girl. adventurous and loving. She belongs to the Sadiki Clan.

Princess Amara Kali Damon,

The eldest daughter of emperor Atropos of Abbados. She is known for her one-of-a-kind beauty as stories spread that she was blessed by the gods. She had black hair with white streaks, a defined nose, a defined face, skin as white as snow, and special eyes. One of her eyes was blue and the other brown. She is loved by everyone in her empire as she often visits the city to distribute goods. she is kind, caring, gracious, and clever. Though she was already at the age of 25 she was the most beautiful among the three candidates

Dillon immediately ordered a marriage proposal to be sent to emperor Atropos for the princess's hand in marriage. while he instead offered consort positions to the other two madames. fortunately, all 3 beauties accepted the princes and immediately started the wedding and conferment ceremony for the consorts. Dillon made sure to fulfill his duties to all 3 of his current wives as he knew their fathers would be able to help him sit on the thrown. Dillon got close to his wife the chief consort Princess Kali as both had almost the same experiences. they were also close in age so both understood the importance of power in the council. dillon now has a powerful chief consort who is as wise and brave as him. one that would support him until the time he obtains the throne. He only needed an heir. But Dillon wanted to secure the throne first just in case his future heirs and consorts wouldn't be harmed if he was killed. 

On the other hand, Prince Keiran amassed great power once again and now has a good enough standing in Tarahi. while Dillon does want to have sons keiran instead starts having more and more children and more and more women serve him. There were rumors that there was once a time in Tarahi when 100 cradles were swinging just because of how many heirs he had been mass producing. though this is a great sign of his fertility many imagine how much of a blood bath it would be once he sat on the throne. keiran once again started to overindulge in women but he made sure that he improved himself in every aspect he could especially in combat as it had been shown that he was the weakest prince in combat. 

Now the only thing to do is wait and see who will make the first move.....
