Say I wanna be a knight or a king! How do I go about doing that? Quests? Killing armies one by one until I'm crowned?

Are kings the same as emperors? I wouldn't settle for any less, you know.

Why would you want to be king?

[cultivatingsin]

Kings are top tier! Everyone respects them, right? And does what they say.

[A very long sigh.]

It depends on what type of king you would be. Being a king is a huge responsibility, everyone would be depending on you. Would you be able to handle that, Xue Yang?

How do you know I'm Xue Yang? You're a presumptuous little bird, you know that?

And I would be good to people. As long as they were good to me.

[pridefulness]

Who knows. I'm pretty sure kings are succeeded by their kids, so unless you plan on killing the royal family, you're probably out of luck.

[cultivatingsin]

That could be accomplished! Seems simple enough, really, when you put it that way.

[pridefulness]

I don't think it's gonna be that easy. Any leader with a brain is going to have defenses.

[ Maybe he should be surprised by the audacity of plotting regicide over the internet. He's not, though. You do you, Xue Yang. ]

[cultivatingsin]

Defenses don't worry me. I'll figure out a way around them or disarm them completely.

[Anonymous regicide is the best regicide! And this might just be his way of stirring up trouble because he can.]

... Dad always said that being a king meant having a lot of responsibility, but it meant helping everyone, too--

( But, Asriel's certain that that power could be bad if it fell into the wrong hands? )

Why do you want to be king? And... Golly. Can you really become a king here?

[cultivatingsin]

Kings are at the top! No one would dare to kick me or try to kill me ever again. I would be the strongest, so there wouldn't be any point!

[He would also set traps all around his castle. Good luck getting in anyone ever.]

Why not? The sky's wide open.

[letmewin]

... But, if people know you're the strongest, then... you'd have people who want to be strong challenging you, too.

( He knows that from home. His Dad was challenged by others who wanted to prove their strength. )

And... You'd have to make really hard decisions, too.

[cultivatingsin]

Let them try! I love challenges. How else will I keep from being bored?

[He can mount their heads somewhere. How fancy!]

I'm not afraid.

you can become a knight or a lord. that's about it.

[cultivatingsin]

Sounds boring. I want more.

[unknowntodeath]

you'd have to overthrow King Arthur. if you want to try, be my guest. I love seeing people fail.

[cultivatingsin]

Poor Arthur! Give him a little more credit.

You wish to be a king? But this would not be your kingdom.

[cultivatingsin]

Why not? I could make it mine.

[beautyrest]

IF you tried, that would be treason, and I do not think you would be supported.

In my opinion, if you have to ask how to go about becoming a ruler, you're probably not fit to be one in the first place.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bedroll~

[ragingblossom]

No, I didn't. That's just the truth. People in positions like that don't get those positions by asking how to get there. They usually get put there by the people they end up leading, if not by birthright.

[Even Naruto was managing to somehow forge his own path to becoming a candidate for the Hokage's position, and gods only know he never asked anyone what he needed to do to qualify.

But at the same time, except for the "killing armies" and comparing kings and emperors part, this sounds like something he'd ask. Trying to find out how to get an important sounding job without even knowing what he's signing up for.]

Listen, you probably mean well- [She's ASSUMING.] -or maybe your question is just hypothetical, but a knight, king, or emperor who isn't qualified for the position only ends up leading their people and the people they're meant to protect to misery.

[There's something familiar about that writing style and oddly dramatic line of questioning, and after she reads through some of the other responses...Oh, it's this person again.]

You can become a knight through doing enough quests. Some people can become nobles through quests as well. No one is going to give you a crown, and you might wind up cursed if you try to take one by force from the fairies.

[He's not good at hiding, is he. He needs to work on it, but...not today. Whether his identity is known or not, he is having fun.]

Alright, alright, I see. Are the fairies really that dangerous, though? I thought they were tiny, impish things. A curse from them might be aggravating. Like a pinch.

[usedforcepalm]

I think they can take many forms, some even looking human. What if they cursed you to uncontrollably vomit slugs every time you thought a violent thought as punishment for trying to take their crown?
