Why bothering with elections? It's expensive, useless and secretly tricked. Instead of this, I take the power without any troubles. No hidden fees, no force used for nothing and no secret trickery.
No, I am here by godly decision... my decision. If you are against it, I'll take your kids to a military camp and train them to be fearless warriors. Later, they'll be sent to kill you.
I'm a fearless warrior. And I'm no ones kid. Goddess' are powerful. They can control certain things. People pay respect to them. But Flare-Goddess, I'm afraid can only control flare. King's are also powerful. The king you have is most likely the son of the previous. They control their kingdom. People bow to them. They are the highest in the ranking in olden terms. Flare, and Slendie I would believe have equal powers. However as a goddess, you would have to give up your powers and role as a goddess, to become ruler. As a king, you have no power of a goddess. She can do what she wants. If you pay her respect, she'll leave your throne alone.
You have no idea the power of Flare... Beware the Flare "You don't know the forces you are tampering with!!" - quoted from something I can't remember
