Epilogue
While Sophia Rosenberg was rolling around on her bed, his majesty the king– Theodore, was groaning in his office.
He had just received the report on what happened in the rose garden and was now ruminating on how to respond to it.
Theodore had known for a while that Alforth has been surrounded by noble sons bearing strong thought of elitism, and that their parents were cooperating with the prince’s educator to take suspicious actions.
But despite being aware of this, he decided to leave it alone for several reasons.
In the first place, the elitists within the school were still only a faction of children. If compared to the real thing, what they did was the equivalent of kids playing house.
One can always try again after failing as a youth, but second chances were far rarer after growing up. The school’s policy was to learn from failures– this was followed by the royal family as well.
There was also a reason why it was difficult to intervene.
While the first prince was regarded to be the next king, this hasn’t been confirmed yet. The second prince Alforth still has a chance to inherit the throne.
In other words, this situation was part of the power struggle between those who supported their respective princes. While it was true that directly interfering would cause waves, that was only the tip of the iceberg.
