You are on a council of six, serving the good King Elias.  When the King dies suddenly, you suspect murder.  You know that you didn't kill the King, so the likely suspects are the other five council members. If you can't be sure who did the deed, then it is your duty to rule the land in the King's name until the murderer is discovered.  Ofcourse, if the other council members are dead, then it isn't a problem is it?  Hmmmm...did you kill the King after all?  You may have.  Either way, you know best how to rule this land and it is your destiny to do it.  You must destroy the other five Council Members and their minions in order to reign supreme!
