Idris was standing against the window of his classroom, holding a book in his hands, attempting to focus.
"Idris, did you hear that your brother-in-law won't be the next King?" One of his classmates, Romeo, approached him, eager to deliver the shocking piece of palace gossip.
"Where did you hear that news, Romeo?" Idris asked, shutting his book immediately.
"Right here, in this forum," Romeo replied, quickly showing him his phone. Idris took the device and read the comments being rapidly put down in the popular royal gossip thread.
He saw the discussions centered on Casaio being disqualified from the line of succession. He saw his own name and his sister Zilia's name repeatedly mentioned, being cited as the primary reason for Casaio's changed status.
Idris felt sad as he realized their past was now causing significant political fallout for Casaio.
