Magnate's Blood Crown

Q & A

There were many questions asked to me in comments or on Insta. I will try to answer whatever I can. I know it was a long story with lot of subplots. So many things were confusing and maybe somethings I did not clarify. Here you can ask me anything in comments and I will answer it.

The following are few generic questions.

Q. What is the deal with Chalerm suddenly in Panthara?

A. I thought I did not clarify it clearly. Kirdpan family was attacked in Ohm and Nanon's absence because of Mongkhon. During that time, Chalerm thought that only Nanon can save his family. So he somehow escaped the guards and ran to find his brother. With the help of rumors, he reached Panthara.

Q. How was there an attack on palace after Ohm left for border?

A. I guess I tried to be subtle but let me explain in detail the plot that I had in mind. So Sulom, Ohm's aunt was hungry for power. Ohm expected her to ditch them. So he was keeping tabs on her. But he couldn't think that she could join hands with Chatchawan Naharet. So she was the reason why the palace could be attacked.

Q. Joss sometimes seemed more powerful than Ohm. He did wrong with Nanon and so he is dislikable. Why is he so important?

A. Firstly, Joss appeared in the story after the story was done more than 50%. So obviously he was not that important from the beginning. But in the later part he was. I don't remember making Joss the bad guy. He was grey for sure. But that was because he was a tribal leader? People behave inspired by their surrounding and culture. Still he was better than his people and he did not do anything wrong to Nanon. Also, when I started writing, he was just a passing character, but the chemistry I started building with him was too good to ignore.

Powerful, yes, he is powerful, but Ohm is leading seven kingdoms and is god of war. What more power can I give him? I believe I tried to make it subtle and balanced. But next time maybe I will pay more attention to detailing.

Also, a nation cannot fight alone with a bigger nation. If you all observed, I mentions Siam being able to cover 4 borders of Thai Sovereign. That means it's a bigger nation. So to fight a bigger, a stronger nation, people need external forces. And a war needs some unexpected elements.

Q. How come Chalerm suddenly became important?

A. Answer is in above question. When I started taking interest in Joss's character, he seemed lonely to me. And it was only fair to give him a stronger reason to fight with Sovereign. Yao and Lek being Alphas, I only had Amy and Chalerm left. So I built it accordingly. And Chalerm made more sense as I could relate him with Nanon.

Q. Chalerm and Nanon are cousins, then how can they look alike?

A. Happens many times in case of first cousins. If they look like their grand parents instead of their parents. Me and one of my first cousin look almost alike. People think we are siblings.

Q. Direk could have been with Arak.

A. True. However Direk's personality did not make sense for romance to me. Also, there has to be some loss to show grief and reality. Especially people who are not skilled enough to be able to protect themselves will obviously suffer in such situations. It would be magic if everyone survives.

Q. What happened to Lannathai and Phraithaya battle?

A. Lannathai had support of army sent from Chaiyapura. And Phraithaya had a back of Siamrath. Also, Ohm had sent his army to Thammarat, Phraithaya and Lannathai as well. I did not emphasize but let's say they won with the increase in numbers. :)

Q. Amy and Vajiravudh, Aim and Bunsong could have their story.

A. True. But I was already touching up on so many things. I thought it will only drag this story more. Maybe side stories someday. No promises. I did not build these characters enough to have a connect worthy for a separate story. Amy especially was not likable since the beginning.

Q. Book's character was not that prominent.

A. Maybe. Maybe not. I was writing ForceBook for the first time. I included them because I needed friends for my OhmNanon. But if I missed something, I will try to do better next time. 

Q. This was not omegaverse per say.

A. Yes, I mentioned that in the beginning. Gay weddings in historical era would be a case of catastrophe. So I made it an omegaverse to ease the relationship building. My focus was not on the traits and concept of omegaverse.

Q. The pace of the story changed in the end.

A. True. Because people like to read drama and romance for 30 chapters but not battle scenes for more than 4-5 chapters. And I had to cover the battle scenes for the entire sovereign's battle grounds. So I briefed things a bit.

Q. Why was only Ohm's horse had a name?

A. LOL. Just because. No reason. I wanted to have some relevance for things associated with OhmNanon. ):)

Ask me more if you have. I will try to answer. 🙃
