Back when the previous 71c3b3c4d3 king was alive and 047b310d42 the current king had 2327f95b1f not yet ascended the 78def1f98e throne, the heir apparent ebd7f7361c had been none other 802825890f than Princess Tenepra, beloved 981d59d540 by the people for dbf752b649 her extraordinary heritage and e56f400b7b abilities.c92eba2a3afc0c97
After the previous king acknowledged 3f04e9893d the current king, born of 21c2fbd41d a dancer, as his firstborn, 868a254adb Tenepra left to become queen 68e2d715fd of a foreign land. Yet the new king felt e1f8ea0b1d insecure about the throne he’d 9c0a7b0652 gained. His half-blood lineage was 587e8bde33 always a source of 52a766d7c2 weakness.d6768eae4f5e6a14

Perhaps because of that, 7ade66b689 he cherished his black-haired d8b14b05e5 first son, who shared 021df05ada his circumstances.

In fact, he was c0dfc43a62 so suspicious of the 1a748d8c85 first princess seeking the d8ae5f4d42 throne that he delayed 91b577136b naming a crown prince eb28823fa0 and insulted her publicly.332805f87f296b03
