I didn't think about that. Which would make much more sense (0.0 )... If Kian became emperor, this would also somewhat benefit the western empire cause (I'm guessing) the crown prince will become close friends with them. He'll also become the western emperor and the two empires would establish a treaty. Perhaps the Crown prince will help them, but that would probably be treated as treason if anyone found out.
tbf, as history dictates, it is only treason if they don't succeed! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
if they do, it is a revolution, or maybe conquest, or a rise, or some independence juice, or salvation, or even liberation, maybe unification, or development.
the leading key goes around, around around... once ones falls, another takes its ground.
I've been having some thoughts... the prince mentioned thar kian would become some sort of threat for the eastern royal family. Does this mean he could be an heir to the throne?
He also mentioned how he's much better than their emperor and crown prince and the others didn't disagree. So I'm guessing the royal family are crap and kian (who's cain) is the rightful heir but was forgotten by everyone apart from the prince and Priscilla (no idea how that works) because of a curse the royal family put on him...
If anything else has anything to add pls reply! I love discussing theories (▰˘◡˘▰)
