the story.

Long ago, a world full of peace and harmony existed. No violence, no hatred, nothing. And in one certain kingdom, there lived a powerful family who ruled over all. Although they had one hell of an intimidating presence, they were polite nonetheless, always thinking about the people.

The big day was arriving soon, and everyone was busy preparing for the ceremony, the crowning of the new heir of the throne. And as you all know, there can only be one heir for the throne. But there was one issue here. The royal family had 2 sons who were qualified for the throne, and to make things even more troublesome, they were twins.

They were skilled in both combat and education, respectful to the people, and a bonus, they were handsome. What more could you ask for in a king who would soon greatly rule this peaceful kingdom? But the question remains... who would rightfully take the throne as king?

The King and Queen called them into the main hall, and with great disappointment, told their sons that only one suitable heir can claim the throne. One son was in complete shock, while the other was plotting in his sinister mind about how he could use this information to his advantage. The King insisted that they would discuss how this would be settled, and sent them back to their rooms. Both boys were left confused and slightly hurt by this fact.

Well actually, one of the boys had an advantage. The youngest had a lung condition that was passed on from the Queen's side of the family. He was very sensitive to debris and filthy air, which is why every morning multiple maids and butlers sanitize his room, leaving each thing he owns spotless. But this information was never released to the public, only the King and Queen along with the sickly son knew. If this information was ever announced to the public, who knew what anyone would do with this information, who knew what harm would unfold onto the poor, sickly, child.

Both sons were relaxing in their rooms, contemplating on a solution. Their doors suddenly opened, revealing the King's assistant. He had come to explain that the King and Queen have made a decision. They were to participate in a series of events to show their worthiness for the throne. Whoever is worthy, will claim the throne as theirs.

"What do these events consist of?" Both sons inquired.

"The King and Queen have decided to keep that information confidential. For now, they want you to train hard. Do your best, I wish you luck," He replied, bowing in respect before he left the room.

Once again, both boys were left puzzled. What would they be training for? Clear instructions weren't delivered. But both boys quickly left to go train.

The eldest son decided to train on combat. Exercised each minute possible to strengthen his body. He trained and trained every day to the point where new clothes had to be tailored every morning because his body grew buff and his clothes didn't fit him anymore.

The sickly, youngest son decided to train his brain. Studied every minute possible, dedicating his time reading and writing, studying whatever he could. He dedicated his time in the castle's library to the point where he would accidentally fall asleep studying, and the King would have to carry him back to bed.

The special day finally came, and it was time to prove who was the worthy heir. Both boys were standing in front of the King and Queen exhausted, but ready for whatever was going to come at them. Loud cheers and whistles could be heard from the excited spectators watching over them.

First, they participated in an archery battle. The eldest son won this round. Next, they participated in arm wrestling. Once again, the eldest son won this round. Last but not least, they participated in a battle tactic strategy event. They were supposed to plan out the best battle strategy for war, and the best way to keep the people safe. The youngest son won this round.
