The king looked around himself and heaved a heavy sigh.
"What is the meaning of this, Jacob?"
Jacob smiled like a maniac.
"We're all tired of your corruption. You've manipulated all of us for far too long. We will no longer be your slaves in this kingdom."
"So, you decided to work with my brother behind my back?"
"I guess you could say that. I didn't originally plan on joining him, but you're just too powerful for the noble clans to handle."
The king held up his hand.
"I would stop weakening my power if I were you. Tens of thousands of citizens are relying on it to stay alive fighting the duplicates."
Jacob hesitated. He never thought his father would help out the citizens before, but he didn't know if the king was bluffing or not to try and make it easier for him. His uncle interjected.
"He's lying Jacob. There are no citizens fighting the duplicates. I called them off before I carried your dad here."
Jacob started seething with anger and stood up from his throne.
