{Outside The Projection}
The ideal king was one who did not desire the throne, yet was chosen to bear its responsibilities.
And well… that was Malik to a fault.
Alongside the truth, irony had come in spades.
He, who didn't wish to be a king, never asked for it, had a throne melted for weapons, became the one ruler of the world.
The Sultan.
He really did weave fate, didn't he?
Wove it into something no one could've seen coming.
But still…
That left a big, ugly question hanging in the air.
Why kill the Former Sultan like that?
Why do it in public if he didn't want to be crowned in his stead?
If he made it anonymous, the Divine Law would not apply, and he'd be free.
So why?...
Was it pride?
Was it justice?
Or was there an actual reason?
Another circumstance or misunderstanding?
...Did it ever end?
One question ended, and another started right after.
They didn't know if it could end; maybe it wasn't supposed to.
Maybe that was just how the world worked.
