Chapter 111 - 100 King Dovlo’s Proclamation
Bandi and Orenmo, two royal lineages tainted by scandal, eventually became each other’s closest allies.
The illegitimate child Bandi thus encountered many nobles who remained loyal to the Sapo King.
Those nobles’ forefathers were originally Elders within the Kingdom, spending their past days gathered in stone palaces, deliberating on state affairs with the Sapo King. However, since King Yarlessto ascended to the throne, these nobles’ ancestors had been continuously marginalized over the centuries.
King Yarlessto acted shrewdly; for a long time, he gradually pruned those nobles loyal to the Sapo King, distancing them from the Palace, and even sending them away from the Royal Capital to the various city-states of the Kingdom, thus erasing the crisis without a trace.
However...
After hundreds of years, these marginalized Logos nobles had come together and formed a significant undercurrent.
They were, more or less, supporting Orenmo, the bloodline of the Sapo King, to reclaim the throne.
Through association with these nobles, Bandi, as an illegitimate child, found himself accorded significant importance, with their servile flattery flowing toward him like a river, relentlessly washing over him.
The illegitimate son knew he was valued not because of his talents but because of the blood of King Dovlo running through his veins.
King Dovlo and his Queen had three offspring, two of whom had already died young, leaving only Rui Ying, the eldest son, to come of age.
Apart from this, there was only Bandi, the illegitimate son.
