The King That Fell

Once upon a time, in the southern province of somewhere...

There was a very powerful king named The King. He has a vast empire and had nothing to worry about as neighbouring kingdoms feared angering him. He was a good king though.

He saw a beautiful girl. Lets cut the story short. Got laid and had two sons. Son A and Son B.

Many years have past and yada yada yada...

Son A is now 18 years. He is of legal age to *censored*. So his father sent him on a quest. A quest to study whatever he wants for 3 years and use what he studied to build his own empire. He went on a studying frenzy of all the books he could find to develop his skills on governing a country and searched for top nobles who lots of education to join him as his ministers.

3 years later he started his quest for his empire. and the empire grew well and prospered for the next 2 years.

At this point in time, Son B who is 5 years younger turned 18. The King then sent Son B on his quest for studying and starting his empire 3 yrs later. Son B went on a journey. A journey to all the different provinces and countries that were out of his father's kingdom. He seeked talents from the poor and studied with them.

3 years later he started his quest for his empire. In these 3 years, Son A's empire constantly grew and prospered.

Son B's empire grew amazingly fast. and in 5 years time, it was as strong as Son A's.

At this point in time 3 are 3 powers. The King, Son A and Son B, all with their own Empire. The King's empire however is 3 times their sizes.

The sons in their castle suddenly received a SMS from their father. "Hi boys! POP QUIZ! HOW DO YOU DEFEND AGAINST MY ARMY THAT IS GOING TO ATTACK YOU?!"

Fierce battles raged between the 3 kingdoms.

Outcome is? Son A's kingdom collapsed. Son B's however, survived and repelled the father's army and The King, proud of his younger son made him successor. So mathematically now, Son B owns a damn big empire.

Morale of the story? You go and think.
