Don't Mess With Him

And in the capital of the kingdom of Crete, which bears the same name as the kingdom. The second prince Menionte II was jumping up and down with hatred. Soon he, who had sold this poor kingdom to the Greeks, saw his plan being undermined by a random boy who appeared out of nowhere.
He was furious, he had summoned assassins from the faction that supported him, but no one wanted to do the job. The damn boy was protected by Count Demaclios.
In the War of Succession, Count Demaclios was the real meaning of neutral.
He was not loyal to the king, much less to the kingdom, he was loyal to those he led, his men, his children and women.
And he considered Sarpi one of them, that was clear.
The 32 princes knew, if they poked this hornet, the realm would be destroyed before the infamous Greeks landed.
So the second prince had his hands tied, and yet another potential support force had been lost.
Crown Prince Menionte I, on the other hand, took the opportunity to consolidate his support bases around the kingdom.
The 70-year-old King was fed up with so much chaos and betrayal. There were constant assassination attempts in his direction from his own children.
Originally he had 104 children, but thanks to Greek political influence, his children began plotting against his life, and he was forced to eliminate some as a warning.
Which worked for a short time due to the growing greed of their royal offspring.
So he kept killing them, young and old who tried to kill him.
Until he reached the last 32, learning the lesson in blood from his other brothers, they stopped leaving evidence.
And do you think it stops there? the greed was so great that the beautiful Cretan ladies with slender bodies were sold in exchange for Drachmas in brothels from Laconia to Macedonia.
And who did this? the nobles who were lackeys to the princes.
