The classic story of two brothers. The older (Prince Brasus) doesn’t want the throne that will one day be his to rule, and the younger (Prince Thaiper) believes he should reign no matter what and willingly resorts to lies, threats, patricide, kidnapping, poison and assassination to gain his desires.
