Synopsis

Sloan Du Toprox is formally accused of attempting to assassinate the Emperor, and incriminating evidence is presented which leads to a swift guilty verdict, with a cruel sentence of being dragged by horses and then decapitated. Following this judgement, Kaoli du Toprox, the second prince, uses the opportunity to openly demand the throne from his father, Emperor Radiac. The Emperor, surprisingly, not only accepts this demand but formally abdicates his position to his son.
