The coronation of the new king was destined to be a chaotic and lengthy ceremony, clearing out the rebels, promoting trusted followers, and the transition of power was bound to be bloody and turbulent.
Moreover, the new king was a madman, having just ascended to the throne, he slaughtered half of the Chopra family!
However, he was at least a tolerant and benevolent madman.
As long as one hasn't offended him, he left them untouched, even extending real power held tightly by the Chopra family to outsiders, promoting many people of different surnames into positions of authority.
Even though everyone could see that he was out of capable individuals... who isn't useful when truly needed?
No matter how talented one might be, positions and power are required, hence the saying, 'It can either make one a dragon or a worm.'
Bestowing power and receiving loyalty, this was a pact.
