ROFL! Riboku tastes freedom only to be fucked again straight after.
Would be kinda friggen hilarious if he also gets poisoned.
Ka be like I've done it once, I'll just do it again!
I'm assuming the prince's faction was responsible for the poisoning of the king. It's a pity they were too short-sighted to not get rid of the other wretches in their family.
I wonder how Zhao can get out of this now. The new heir is most certainly going to get rid of anyone who has shown any loyalty to the prince, which is everyone competent.
Big massive F for Zhao. Riboku may have escaped, but Zhao's still in the shitter. I wonder if the talented men Prince Ka released will be able to make it out of there alive. But with Tou Jou's heir around, I doubt they'll be able to help as much as they could've been regardless.
@razxiko My only source is Wikipedia, so it isn't 100% reliable, but it says something similar did happen. There was a King Daoxiang who died in the middle of Qin invasion on Zhao, and he was succeeded by King Youmiu who was the younger son, but got the throne due to the intervention of his mother.
On the bright side, we wont have to read how Riboku and Ka fall by Qin's hand. It would be too bittersweet. Now we can watch how Qin purges these degenerates. Maybe give them to Kanki...
And that, children, is why good succession war includes murder of all rivals. Don't forget his mother and his supporters. Oh, and the extended family just to be safe.
"All it take for a country to fall is for it to be helmed by a pack of imbeciles." Never have truer words been spoken, and now you get to see the consequences of your prolonged inaction. Amazing
And no one in the room thought, hey, only three people in the room want this, how about we just hail caesar them? I mean jesus christ, serving the crown sure, but if it means there wont be a crown by the end of the day then what's the fucking point.
