~~Brotherly Love~~

“Found it kind of funny that a cat made Ronny discover the little secret, and then Edward ate a mouse later on. Cats.*
--That wasn’t intended.
. I was only bringing in that cat as a reference to Bob the Jagex cat.
”In a way, princes were not really lovable things. There are numerous stories about brotherly love amongst princes during their childhood, but once they find out that there's competition to the throne, they often plotted to remove each other.”
--I love Princes though. Lol. Maybe it also depends the relationships between the princes as children, which would later affect their approach to competition? Some princes never wanted to be King at all.
”Conquistadores did the same thing in the Americas, so just knowing that, Ronny is a little more than merciful when he gets power and just makes a bunch of priests run away via arrow fire.”
--The lore of RS suggests that in King Roald’s younger years he was criticized for cowering before Saradomin churches. That said, it’s not unreasonable to allow him to disperse these priests with arrows in the later years in memory of his brother.
”Anyways, last time, in my review, I mentioned that a few times that 'the story felt like a list of feelings,' but you didn't know what I meant by that. I meant it in a sense that the story focused too much on some little man's feelings, because, well, you know – who cares about this little man's feelings? That was when I realised what, or who, the statements were referring to.”
--Umm…who?
”Rival knights would often try to kill each other during such large-scale tournaments, so even though war is not Ronny's thing, jousting, melees, and tournaments would be an option regardless of how weak he is.”

--I’m not sure how to fit this into the story
. True, I try to tell a story that has zero battle/fight scenes, and nothing of the sort. Would you not think that adding this element in the earlier parts of the story (while it does fill out background information, yes), the focus of this story, i.e., the act of outing a brother and feel remorse, be blurred?
”Also, I was interested in Alan. Maybe Alan was also a man-lover? If I typed this story, I would have made a love triangle. Maybe not use Alan, but use another noble, who desperately tries to gain Edward's affection, but fails every time for all sorts of reason. In a fit of jealously, this third man-lover would co-operate with Ronny to tell the king about the secret, and in this way, end the story with two embittered characters.”
--Haha!
. I’ve never thought of this before. This is totally viable. I have a teddy called Alan and for random purposes I included him in this story.
“oh, and btw, I loved the smiley at the end of the letter.”
--Really? Many people hate it.
