His Guilt
King Alexander sat in his office working on some documents. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, there were a few minutes left before his next appointment.
He sighed for the umpteenth time. As the days drew closer to his resignation, the workload continued to increase. He needed to ensure that all the state matters under his leadership were well organized before handing over.
As for the next King, he didn't know. Although he wanted his son to take over, a part of him knew that his son wasn't a suitable candidate. Unlike his wife, he wasn't indulgent of his children's every whim.
He knew he had failed as a father the minute Xander's shameful deeds were exposed. He had even gone to see Leo to reduce the impact.
He didn't do it as a father. He did it as a King. His judgement wasn't the best but it was favourable at the time. The court sessions would begin in three days.
