That was up to Sobik to decide since it was his crown to give. And he decided MC doesn’t deserve it, just like he decided Vedran doesn’t deserve it (which was evidently a right call)
MC throwing a tantrum about it is no different from Vedran. Except 5 years older and really should know better at this point.
At least we can throw his weak heir in jail that why we deserve the crown. Why we have to obey him when Sobik die anyway?
It stopped being up to him when he died to Rade. If Elya wants the crown, she can get it herself.
And the MC didn’t trow a trantrum, he launched a quick, efficient and bloodless coup. Now he has the crown.
@Bacondoneright is there a reason that the siege in chapter 3 didn’t use better equipment? Siege towers come to mind, and they would have been much more reliable than just ladders. And for something that seemed like it had been planned for up to a year, you would think that rade would have had better shit on hand.
The whole point of last will is that it determines what happens with dead person’s belongings after their death. It’s explicitly up to them.
The MC certainly throws a tantrum, have you even read their inner monologue that leads to the decision to launch the coup? It’s all jealousy and self-entitlement.
And there is no point of a will if there is no one that can actually enforce that.
A tantrum is something that a weak person goes through when they can’t have what they want. The MC wasn’t weak, he actually had the power to get what he wanted.
Elya can’t save her crown so she have no right to compliant about it.If she want it back she just war with us .that is simply rule.
Why Marshall have to care about his will? This Thorne is our right .when he die , Marshall not need to care about it
Isn’t that the right question? Sobik only brought misery to the MC’s life, so why should the MC keep obeying him even after his death?
Let that man rot in hell, alongside with his will.
At that time, might makes right. You can only enforce something if you actually have the power to do that.
That’s the thing, from every standpoint, legal, social, whatever, it is not our right
Personally, while the Marshall I play has the same sentiments as yours to an extent - one of the main reasons why she doesn’t go for the crown is because she knows that her illegitimacy is a problem, dishonoured or not. She considered usurping Elya, mostly because of how traumatised she was being ordered to participate in war at such a young age and was sick of not being able to have some say in her life against the monarch.
If Elya so much repeats history like her father and tries to use MC as a tool and abusing my MC’s love for her, my MC would have no qualms quietly poisoning her to establish somewhat sole heritage claim as a direct line of the previous king. But for now, MC is just really starved for familial love and she will take whatever scraps she can get, barring those who actively made her life a living hell or directly tried to kill her.
In the case of unresolved hatred and resentment to the queen tho, I wish we had an option to avenge our kid self, such as getting her to dishonour herself by threatening her son’s life - all the while keeping it under wraps from Elya and getting the queen to pretend that she did it out of atonement for what she did to MC.
There isn’t a satisfactory direct revenge option against the queen so I can understand your desire to punish the queen indirectly, even with “innocent” collateral like Elya who remains ignorant or uncaring that her mother actively calls MC bastard as an insult and way to demean MC.
Even so, even without the option of direct revenge against the queen, I think it could be satisfying to play a MC who is so exalted by the people and trusted by the monarch that the queen just gets pissed off with MC’s shining existence and the fact that she holds less influence at court than MC. It is of course still the author’s choice on the kind of story they wish to tell so I’ll just look forward to what comes in the sequel.
No, a tantrum is uncontrolled outburst of anger or frustration. It’s a sign of emotional immaturity, and doesn’t have anything to do with whether person can get something or not in the end. A child can leverage a tantrum to get what they want, too.
It literally isn’t MC’s right – MC was stripped of this right when they were disinherited and disowned.
Bishop can make it right with God authority.Now MC have right to claim the throne .God authority always above Monarch.that why now throne is our right. While Elya refused by God,she no right to claim now
That is your opinion of what happened there. To me it was the Mc finally realizing that following a dead man’s wishes blindly wasn’t the right course for his life.
“Being born to the wrong mother”, what a great excuse for being disinherited and disowned. No wonder some of us don’t see any worth in that excuse to keep the Mc from the throne.
That would require the holy father to remove our dishonored status, and even after that, we would still have to be put into the line of succession, that does not happen automatically
My thing is like, if it was just “you’re a bastard get fucked” that would’ve been fine. But we were the heir, legitimized and everything, and then they just changed their minds. Like, that’s supremely fucked up.
“Being born to the right mother” is hardly much of basis to get reign over millions of people, either. If you are willing to accept some dumb customs as valid (because they suit you) then you kind of have to accept other dumb customs (that you don’t like) are going to be just as valid, too.
MC can certainly attempt to get the throne. But they still realize they have to accept some of the dumb customs and seek the pretext of legitimacy, because they know they have no chance to hold onto what they grabbed otherwise.
We bribe Bishop,he will manage everything.and I hope Elya may not live long in next book .because I make sure she will have short life in book2 and her mother too
Not any heir,not civil war, don’t you think? This is for great good to Kantos
No , the MC don’t have to accept don’t dumb costumes and that is why he can get the throne.
And it’s not like there weren’t other options, especially for Sobik? He literally could have just had Mira arrested on the spot for her threats and/or slander to his his heir, but he shrugs and lets the worst possible outcome play out
Edit- It really does boggle the mind that Sobik had any sort of legitimacy left after the scandal. Imagine admitting that you lied about your firstborn’s legitimacy seven years after their birth, in front of the entire nobility and church hierarchy, and to prove it you publicly execute a random peasant woman and saw off the kid’s fingers. There had to be questions about the royal couple’s sanity after all this went down
The bishop doesn’t make the decision, he redirects your petition to the holy father, who may or may not agree and give you what you want, and this dude, is this world equivalent of the pope, so you’re not gonna be bribing or threatening him anytime soon
