The old king appeared to view his successor as immature in both action and speech. This often resulted in the new king's voice being overshadowed or outright spoken over by his father during sessions.
This power struggle has now split the court of the Osita kingdom into two distinct factions.
The Loyalists, those who stand firmly with the old king and the way things were and then, The Reformers, those who align themselves with the new king.
Because of this divide, very little is actually being accomplished. Productive debate has been replaced by constant disagreement and shouting matches on both sides, leaving the kingdom's progress at a standstill.
Recently, this tension blew out of proportion when the old king spoke boldly before the entire court. "It seems I have been quite hasty in handing this throne to you," he declared. "Your mother raised you better than this, and she would be greatly disappointed seeing how you have turned out."
