Sorry for the delay, life got crazy there for awhile and I couldn't get to this story. I appreciate everyone's words of encouragement and concern, it is truly touching. Unfortunately, part of the reason I was gone so long was because of all the ideas floating around in my head. I didn't want to put this story on the shelf, so I sat down and put all my ideas to 'paper'. One crazy week later and I have 9 new stories with 15-25 chapters each. A couple of them will probably never get put up, but there's a few that will see the light of day after my current stories are done. On a side-note, writing a villain that isn't completely cliche is no easy task. My writing ability isn't up to that level just yet. Anyway, I just wanted to reassure everyone that the story will go on but at a slower pace due to the holidays. Thank you once again.
From my point of view, he is too competent, things won't end like he would like. He may not want to be king, but when you're so good it doesn't matter want you want, people under you become too loyal and they will do any things to make you ascend even if it displease you. They may treat your lack of ambition as a noble thing and "dirty" their hands for you. Look at history, many people did horrible things, and many of them was because of loyalty, whether it's to the country or to someone in perticular.
