I have a feeling that Rui will meet prince Raul and then conclude he’s also trash, then boom plot twist is is legible for the throne and then for the sake of his family, tries to take it.
well then, that went horrible. I don't even hate the idea since if she succeeds, Kandrian would have incredibly powerful and rich but she needs to tone down the intensity that she goes about it.
While extreme, it will pay off massively if successful, unlike all of the other princes and princesses plans. Their plans just kill or disenfranchise the common people, or plunge the empire into civil war.
