How it all began

"Welcome, my dear subjects. Welcome to the long, 20 years awaited competition, ZELOS". The emperor announced

In order to find the next successor out of the three princes of Seiko. They compete today. There will be 3 tests.

TEST 1.

CHIKARADAMESHI. Test of strenght.

TEST 2.

CHIE TAMESHI. Test of wits.

TEST 3.

HITOBITO NO SHIREN. Test of the people.

"How have I never heard of this in my 17 years of living in this kingdom" Prince Michiaki muttered.

"Would you just shut up and listen!" Prince Tatsuyu responded.

"LET THE GAMES BEGIN" The king bellowed. The crowd went crazy. The air was filled with cheering and chanting and the princes definitely didn't like their enthusiasm.

In the blink of an eye. Knights led the boys into Horse Stables. In each stable. There was a pile of sandbags and interestingly enough, a scroll. A scroll that read:

"...and while the boys throw sandbags over stables, how about we do something .....................more productive. Say, introduce our characters"

......PRINCE TATSUYU......

First triplet. Every boy in the kingdom wants to be like him. Tall, handsome, kind and incredibly charming. He definitely gives main character vibes. even though he is not the main character.

......PRINCE KATZUKI......

The second triplet, born 2 minutes after Tatsuyu. He's... just basic.(even though he is the main character). For some reason. The whole kingdom hates Katsuki. They say... "how can a basic brat like him be the son of such a majestic, perfect family. I could surpass him (× 10). Katsuki is an outcast in his own home.

...PRINCE MICHIAKI...

Ahhhhh, behold the one and only, blessed with very rare features. Every girl in the WORLD wants him. Perfect face, perfect voice, perfect hair, perfect smile. What else could you want, everything about him is perfect. But, don't be fooled by his perfection. Because, behind all that glam and glamour is a bratty, rotten, spoilt 17-year-old kid. Yes, I said it, but can we really blame him. He is the youngest child after all, even 2 minutes can make a difference.

...(๑>؂<๑）...

"30 minutes go by fast" King mieji announced. The three princes were at the first of each of their stables. All dripping in sweat.

At the front of each stable were piles of sandbags. Sandbags that were thrown.

"I have asked my knights to count each pile of sandbags, they will now simply announce the results" King Meiji said. One by one, the knights came forward and announced the results.

The first knight came foward and spoke in a loud yet calm manner.

"The least amount of sandbags that were thrown is 56" The audience clapped.

"The second amount of sandbags was 58". There was disappointment in the audience.

"Awwwn, only two more"

"So close"

"Ah ahem", the king cleared his throat loudly to quiet the crowd down.

"Finally! The highest amount of sandbags that were thrown out of the stables is .................................. 86 SANDBAGS!"

Everyone gasped in shock, Even the king was surprised.

"Never, in the history of Seiko kingdom has anyone ever achieved such success" The king informed.

Everyone had the same question on their mind.

Who did it? Only the guards knew, even the princes were in shock themselves. They didn't have the time to count each sandbag they threw.

There was anticipation in the air, It had never been this quiet in the kingdom.
