Counting unhatched chicks

Gathering forces and alliance isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

My only supporter has been killed and yet again I've lost to my brother. Only if father was sane again it would have been of a favor on my side.

I'm far more better, strong and competent than him.

Since I can't talk to people in the secret places, I'll just have to go there and confront them myself.

I looked into the mirror and I'm indeed pleased with what I'm seeing.

A fine man for a fine throne,very well deserving and of all very strong in combat..

"Where do you think you're going dressed like that?" Oh...that teaser

"To court!" Say less Zainrald

"That's nice... I think you're taking my words rather positively"

that selfish smile reminds me of the good old day my brother lied to my face that he isn't interested in the throne...

"Of course!"

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer they always say and this time I know who my enemy is and I'm looking at him straight in the eye.

Speaking of a court session,it was a surprised session....

"Greetings your majesty!"

Father is finally up...the tensed air really proved no one actually belive he could be better... I thought he had a relapse

"Welcome back father! I've long await your return in good health. It's good to see you in your usual seat!"

Presenting myself first in father's eyes might be the breakthrough I need

"Yes...and Zealot... I'm really proud of your work and service as a regent. I was wrong to underestimate your capabilities!"

Father's praises of that bastard makes the court more free...how can he approve of him like that

"Of course...my brother's work is very commendable...

I very much appreciate him for putting good work in anthills before I take over!" I won't let this pass me by....never!

"Humm...well...Zealot I'll like to promote you... from regent to the commander of the army!"

What in the name of Neptune beards is this...?

The commander of the army is second in command of the kingdom....!!!

"Thank you for your generosity father!"

"Father I also.....!"

"Enough talk... let's discuss how we can build up anthill even more.

Zealot...handle the alliance with other kingdom and also train our warriors as well!"

Not a single chance to say a word.... I've be out casted

"Yes father....how about Zainrald sire? You know he's always itchy to work!"

This hypocrite do know how to play the game

"Oh...let him handle the warriors with you...! You're all dismissed... except you commander!"

He outshined me...put me below him...under his feet! No...! I won't allow it

I'll have a talk with father and explain how treacherous his son as been with his bastard daughter

That should spite up their relationship!!!!!
