The old man wants me gone

The day after my father became the king of our kingdom I felt so relaxed because the palace had no ruler for the time being ,my uncle prince Mick was the first born son of my father's family making him first in line to inherite the throne as soon as my grandfather died ,the great king of the Highland kingdom. Seeing this my uncle Mick made a plan to dethrone his own father because he was old and not dying sooner than expected so my uncle thought that the kingdom needed younger guidance and that it was time for him to rule. So at night when it was time to eat we all set for dinner at the royal table waiting for the hot meal. My uncle brought up the issue of him becoming the next king and how many wonders his going to do from the bottom of his heart for his beloved kingdom,as soon as he was going to say much more the king raised his right hand young man who told you that you are next in line for the throne of my kingdom ,we all looked at him in surprise thinking of what his going to say next ,"but father!!" my uncle said in a loud voice ,the guards ready to pull out their swords and attack the young prince at any cost if he went near to the king ,how can you say that am not next in line you know very well that am your only real blood line unlike some of us, Mick do not talk to your brother in such a manner this is an order or should I say your next king. When my father stood up from his chair and said "my king l can't no l can't not even in a billion years would l think of replacing you your grace". And that is what makes you special my son James because you don't look for your on good only but also for others as well so it is settled you will become the king of this kingdom.
