AU Setting
World setting
It's a world where everyone is assigned with a role or occupation since the moment they were born into this world. They are given skill sets that match the roles. Example: if a child is born with the role of a carpenter, they will be blessed with creativity to make building designs and strength to bring the designs into actual shape.Due to this, there are no such thing as inheriting family's business or parent's rank. Example: a carpenter child can be born from politician father and musician mother.
Apprenticeship is the system adopted then. Children will learn through becoming an apprentice to a master, so they can become a full-fledged member of society and work to earn for themselves. The children matured pretty quickly due to this.
The ruling system is a monarch. Even so, the royalties aren't related by blood. Like everyone else, the status is assigned. So most of the time ruling royalties came from commoner. And the people related by blood to the current royalties aren't automatically considered royalty too, although they may receive privileges depending on the royalty's personality.
Example: a king came from a commoner family, but it doesn't mean his parents automatically become some big names. The king's wife also won't be considered as a queen, and their children won't be considered as prince or princess unless they got assigned the role.
Unlike common occupations, where it can be identified at birth, royalties are identified after the child is of enough age to learn about things around them, which is around 5 years old or so.
Also unlike common occupations, where many can have the same occupation at the same time, royalties are stripped off their status once new royalty with their status is identified.
And unlike common occupations, because there can only be one person who hold one royal title, the former holder of the title is obliged to teach the new holder.
Example: when a child is identified as the new king, then the current king of the country will be demoted. The then former king will have to teach the new king of their duties and the way to rule as a king.
Because royalties aren't really innate occupation, they naturally have an actual occupation. Which means that all royalties have two occupations, their innate one and their royal title.
Example: A child is born with the occupation of a merchant and complete with trading skill set, but then he's identified as a king when he's 5. He'll have to become the new king and rule the country until a new king is born. Once demoted, he can live on as a merchant.
But humans are greedy by nature, so it's not uncommon for royalties to secretly send assassins to murder children that show signs that they might become royalty in the future, just so they can reign for a longer time.
