The king of the Azure Flame Kingdom had a total of three wives, marrying the first two for political gain and support as he ascended to the throne, while the third was more like a childhood friend whom he married out of love.
The second queen had two children, while the third had one—my wife, Aleriana.
Unlike the first one, who had three children in total, creating a total of six individuals eligible for the throne of the kingdom.
It was natural that each of them would try to amass as much support as possible to ascend to the throne.
Given the support from the aristocracy and nobles, the chances of the children of the first queen being in the line of succession were the highest, clearly showing who might become the next ruler to the rest of the kingdom.
This perception changed, however, when the name of Prince Orion, son of the second queen, was mentioned.
The second queen had two sons—Orion Vandreat and Alden Vandreat.
