, "The Shadow Throne? That has nothing to do with the story." Let me explain my revelation, Jaron is in the midst of war, a war against three other kingdoms and no allies in sight. He is doing everything in his power to keep the throne, and Carthya, to defend the kingdom he has come to begrudgingly love. This also isn't the first time that he almost lost the throne, or the second, maybe it's time #31 he almost lost the throne due to rash behavior, risky decisions, and everything else that comes with being Jaron. Don't you see? The throne keeps almost slipping out of his grasp, he may think he has control of it, but it can slip out of his fingers in a few moments of hesitation, like a shadow.
