The supreme sovereign system

The four family dragons, the ultimates kings of the four regions of Leitol. Second in power only to the royal family, the four dragon families, aka The Underheavens on the east, The Terkins on the west, The Pentagates on the south and The Boltors on the north, have maintain a balance for the sake of all Leitol, after all, the cost of them fighting would be too many lives to count.

Of course, the tittle of dragon family came with a lot of benefits but also, with a lot of responsibilities.  For example, the Boltors were in charge of the north, which had the worst weather and environment conditions of all the regions, but, they also had the most abundant amount of mines, so, the mission of the dragon family of the north was to make sure that they produce a certain amount of minerals, for example, steel, to all Leitol.

Like this, each Dragon family had a responsibility, however, if one had to pinpoint who had the hardest work, it would be without a doubt the Pentagate family.

As for why, simple, because they were in the frontier between Leitol and Greycastle.

Of course, the distance between both empires wasn\'t short, at least several thousands of kilometers, between both empires there was a dead land that neither empire owned.

To put it in short words, the Pentagate family was in charge of preventing, at all cost, that Greycastle invaded, they were the first line of defense, of course, they could request help from the royal family at any moment. For instance, if Greycastle were to start a war, which was almost impossible, they had the power to order a massive evacuation, but they had to stay there to fight.

For all these reasons, the Pentagate family had a lot more benefits than the rest of the other four dragon families.

On the other hand, we have a family who has the easiest work, the Terkin family.

The Terkin was a peculiar house among the dragon families and among the families in general, but to get the idea, first, we need to get more into their history.

Contrary to the other families that go by generation after generation, the Terkin \'family\' was actually a conglomerate of various merchant families that worked under one flag, on those times they used to call themselves the Clover Merchant Association.

Around fifty years ago, they controlled more than 70% of the resources in Leitol, even the royal family had a hard time dealing with them, as for the rest of the other dragon families, although they were powerful, they couldn\'t hold a candle against the Clover Merchant Association.

The reason?

Simple, in any world, money moved the world.

The Clover Merchant Association had almost ten champions working for them.

In fact, a lot of people had the idea that the Clover Merchant Association would eventually try to usurp the throne.

This why, the royal family took action.

What did they do? It was a majestic move from the emperor back them.

He called the representatives of the Clover Merchant Association and told them that he was willing to abdicate from the throne along with the Lockheart family.

However, there was a condition.

There could only be one emperor and one royal family, so, they had to choose one family that represents the rest.

The following events were a clear expression of how far can humanity go for power.

There were ten heads of Clover Merchant Association.

They programmed a meeting so they could choose a deputy.

 Eight families assisted this meeting.

None returned alive.

As for the other two families? They merged into one family and pledged loyalty to the crown family.

The two families merged into what we now know as the Terkin family.

However, there was some discrepancy in one crucial point in this.

The ten heads were stupid?

No, of course not, they were in fact, pretty smart, so, how could they not know what his majesty intention was when he gave them the chance to become the absolute sovereigns of Leitol?

Following this idea, if they were smart, how could they plot against each other without knowing the consequences.

So, the question here was…

Did they really kill each other, or the other two families have something do with the events of that night?

History says that this is impossible, why? Because the other eight families controlled almost every champion in the association, the remaining two families had only one champion.

A champion killing the other nine champions in a single night?

Not even a king could do this.

So, what exactly happened that night?

The only witnesses died that night.

The only thing that we know is that the next day, the newly formed Terkin family were given the tittle of Dragon family and were given the control of 50% of the assets of the other eight families, as for the rest?

They \'donated\' the rest to the royal family.

Was it fishy? Of course, it was.

Somebody did something about it?

No.

Not someone who is alive at least.

Anyway, the newly formed Terkin family was giving the labor of administrating the finances in Leitol and make the annual budget for each dragon family.

This sole reason was why nobody dared to mess with the Terkin family.

What was the worse mistake to make in a company?

To piss off the treasurer.

This is why the Pentagate family was in turmoil at the moment.

"Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on!?" Shouted a woman.

This woman had long black hair and a beautiful red dress. However, contrary to her appearance, her expression was pretty ugly.

"Mother, I also have no idea" Said Lucio, who was kneeling on the ground.

"What the hell is Cameron thinking!? To declare war against us!? Is he out of his fucking mind!?" Said Lucio\'s mom.

"*Ahem*, darling, your language" Said a man sitting at her side.

"Xeno! Don\'t tell me how THE FUCK can I talk!" Shouted the woman.

"…" Xeno touched his head in resignation.

"Olivia, my son-in-law is right, watch your language" Said an old man in from of the couple.

The four people were currently in a meeting room, the couple was facing an old man who was supported by Lucio.

"Dad!" Shouted Olivia.

"Olivia, we are a dragon family, don\'t forget that" Said the old man.

"Dad! This is so god damnit enraging! That trash of Cameron thinks he can go and fucking declare war against us without repercussions!? See how I go and torn his got damnit balls and make him swallow them!" Said Olivia.

"…" The three men were speechless.
