103 Choosing the next queen

"Edward, you are the prince who should take my throne after I'm gone, but because of your misconduct, The Council might take the crown away from you." Edward the II spoke to his son with determination in his voice. 

He wanted him to understand that the threat to his position was due to his irresponsibility. If he had cleaned up his act, the way he had continued to tell him to, then they would not be in this position right now, fighting not to get overthrown. 

"What will they do? Give my crown to Alex. It is my birthright to sit on your throne. You, as my father, should insist that I am the next in line to your Empire. I have your blood." Prince Edward asserted his right to claim the seat to the throne.
