The Right Person at the Right Place.

In a far away land some years ago, there was a man who desired to become king so terribly even when he knew he was not supposed to become the king.
He was fortunate to be a member of the king's family, his elder brother was the king at the moment, but he on the other hand, was just a member of the royal house and not an heir to the throne.

He also knew however, that in order for him to become the king, he will have to kill his brother (the king) as well his brother's kids.
His greed did not make him realize that he was supposed to protect his family and not harm him. Although getting rid of his brother was going to be a difficult one as a result of his strength, but the kids are going to be an easy task to get rid of, since they trust him.

He knew of course, that his brother (the king), would do anything to save his kids, so he decided to use his lovely kids against him.
There was a place where the royal line should not go, it was a taboo for them to go there, the kids however trusted their uncle and they believed whatever he told them, he told them to go to the location where they are not supposed to visit , and the kids innocently obliged.

At the same time, he had gone to inform his brother the king about the danger his kids found themselves at that time, without thinking twice, the king ran forward in an attempt to save his kids.
He was able to save his children, but he lost his precious life in the process, the kids mourned their father for a long time and they were not willing to take over the throne, (they thought their father was irreplaceable) while the wicked uncle rejoiced about the fact that he was able to get rid of their father.

Interestingly, there was someone who knew about the entire issue and watching the king's family suffer did not sit well with him, he therefore decided to expose the uncle and his wicked plans of eliminating the entire race of the already late king.
The uncle was immediately sentenced to death and the first son of the royal family was crowned king.
