Chapter 2336. Sick Beauty
If a prince didn’t even have the blessing from the Kingese on the king tree, people would believe him to be very unfortunate. They would think the prince was plagued by bad luck. Such a person could never lead the Extreme King and rule the known world.
Although the protection of the Kingese didn’t accurately represent the luck of a prince, it still affected the way they were perceived by others. Thus, the royal children wouldn’t seek the protection of the Kingese on a random whim.
In the era of King Bao’s reign, there was a much-loved prince. He was very intelligent and a sublime fighter. King Bao was extremely fond of him, and many nobles believed that the prince would be the one to take the throne and succeed King Bao.
Even the prince himself believed he would be the one. He thought he was a man that was blessed with great fortune and luck. So, he went to King’s Cover to test the mettle of his beliefs. But he did not get the Kingese. After that transpired, King Bao’s love turned sour. He didn’t allow the prince to succeed him, and instead passed the mantle onto the man now known as King Bai.
The prince didn’t lose the throne solely due to the lack of Kingese protection, but it was one of the primary factors involved.
Similar things transpired in every era of the Extreme King, just to varying degrees.
The royal children that wanted to take the throne wouldn’t dare risk being rejected by the King’s Cover; it was the royal children that were not ambitious that were more willing to try. A rejection wouldn’t affect them as much.
A royal child who got the blessing of five Kingese would be deemed a lucky person. Getting the blessing of nine Kingese meant a person was super lucky. Getting more than nine was something most kingly, and it was also absurdly rare.
But even getting the protection of more than nine Kingese didn’t guarantee a chance at the throne. So, the Kingese’s protection didn’t mean everything.
