I may be reading too much into this, but that first panel with Polaris is rather telling. I imagine he never thought this would happen, and now he's basically being forced to become king while his brother, his INJURED brother, is simply left there. It's a wonder he (Polaris) doesn't hold any sort of resentment towards the whole thing.
So if ascension to the thone is determined by the challenge, then why was Alcor the one that was pushed so hard? Is it because he's older so they just assumed he would be king? Or is there more more to it. 🤔 Should we be sus of the dudes in the robes? XD (Sorry for the double asks, but I had a lot on my mind after the new update. XD)
Ye! Polaris was never as intensely trained to be King. I think it was something he was prepared to take up, but definitely assumed that Alcor would be the one to ascend the throne!
He def doesn’t like to look back on that moment, seeing Alcor hurt was really hard and he wasn’t able to help him ><
Alcor was pressed to become King since as the oldest he was expected to hone his talent and become the better of the two.
