In my story, there are two side plots: one is a succession crisis on a planet. A former kingdom is having a succession crisis. Two claimants (Earl Charles vs. Earl Aaron) to the throne, a former Lord Protector Earl Anthony Marceau.... kinda like the English Civil War/ War of the Roses. I forgot how it should be resolved when I first started writing a year ago. Any ideas on how I should resolve it? The stalemate is broken when bombs go off and partially destroy Charles and Aaron's houses or business interests. Marceau is later assassinated. Who is responsible? I still can't decide. No clue. Any ideas from the forum?
