Talk:Kou Empire/@comment-27324112-20160507231647

I'm kinda confused. Does the Kou Empire uses the male-only succession? I mean, Koutoku was crowned because "Hakuryuu was too young to rule". But Hakuei was relatively old at the time, at least old enough to be crowned Empress; even if she was underage at the time of Hakutoku's death, Koutoku (or even her mother) was able to rule as a regent. And, now, Kougyoku is the Empress. Maybe she was chosen because all the other Rens were unable to rule (Koumei, Kouen e Kouha hidden in the island, Hakuei being possessed by that bitch, her sisters married and in other countries)?
