Two weeks have passed and the royal capital was completely occupied by Lushak and his rebels.
However, Lushak did not take the throne.
He chose a young noble with some royal blood who was easy to manipulate behind the scenes and he himself became a duke after he took over all the real power.
The reason why he didn't take the throne himself was simple: there were still many of Kashak's lieutenants left, and there were probably some who advised him against it.
He only occupied the royal capital, but he did not bring the entire territory of Carthage to its knees.
Of course, the powerful nobles of the royal capital, the dukes who had tried to escape, were captured or taken hostage, or even killed in some cases.
If the name of the Carthainian dynasty is kept alive and someone from the Carthage royal family is put on the throne, it will be the Kingdom of Carthage anyway.
