Reply to comment by Remarkable-Youth-504 in [WP] AITA for refusing to accept my 5 yo nephew as king and taking over the throne instead? by glubnyan

YTA.

Now hear me out. You being TA here is the absolutely right thing to do.

Reasons of state dictate that it is more useful for the state to have a reasonable prince in charge than have it subject to the unpredictable whims of a child. Also, as I once said, if a prince can not achieve the reputation of being NTA and TA at the same time, it is more useful having a reputation of being TA. But beware: with an already unstable country, some faction may gather behind a claimant. It therefore might be expedient to...arrange a disappearance or accident, so to say.

I hear you. Maybe the best outcome is that the princes in the tower are never seen again.
