What makes you think they "let" him become the king?
So your thought is they have ALL kept their heads down and mouths shut for thousands of years just bc they don't care?
As opposed to what we're seeing now, now that Baam has entered the chat?
You know you might not like, or agree, that your boss should be the boss, but if he/she ACTS like your boss and has the title, and you don't do anything about it, changing or preventing your behavior, then they are your boss in practicality AND in title. And you're the subordinate whether you tell yourself otherwise or not.
You also have to obey you boss .
Do you know if a FH will move if Zahard want it .
If zahard want yurin to destroy FUG will she move ? If zahard want Ari to make a move will he move ?
That we don't know .
What we know is
1. that the dynamic between them is complexLo
So, Gustang changed his behavior before a more powerful (in strength and in influence) entity.
That's subordination. Look no further than the animal kingdom.
Lol no that is called being smart and not starting a war when you can't kill you ennemie .
So what does it mean to you that Zahard has a one-off, special kingly contract?
That is a silly, meaningless title?
A title so little in value that it resulted in a tower-wide war - that even the FHs once participated in?
Oh, and btw, it makes him invulnerable to anyone in the tower. As of now that means the FHs as well.
So, he's untouchable and calls the shots. For instance, no other FH could decide to marry a princess. Or move up the tower. Or defy his kingly orders.
How is that not an obvious distinction in their statuses?
I mean till now we have no idea what that means .
He is king off the tower right ? Is he Urek king ? Is he FUG king ?
Why is Urek not Zahard king ? Urek don't like zahard and other FH and we know he is quite righteous , but yet he doesn't antagonize Zahard .
He kept his head low and his mouth shut like you said right ? But can you consider him Urek king ?
The title call him the king off the tower , but it is hardly true .
You can have whatever title you want , in the end it is people who decide if he king or not . That is why if Urek swear loyalty to Zahard and become his loyal sub he will be Urek king like he is with Rei and Arie but he is not because he didn't .
But in the all off that is meaningless , reread my first post , i spoke off relation and you speak off ranking .
We know for a fact that the relation between zahard and the FH are not that off a king and his sub .
