The King should announce that the general is actually a member of the royal family that was given over to be raised by a lesser noble family with the stipulation that he's entered into officer's school in order to learn discipline and loyalty. This happened because the king had a credible threat that an assassination attempt was happening and he wanted to insure his progeny was available as heir. The threat was neutralized and Sekk'ral was hatched to continue as the heir apparent. This was fine until he decided that he'd rather think with his dick instead of his head. The General, who is a career officer and single, happily steps up to the throne, takes the neighboring kingdom's princess as his wife and has many babby dragon, insuring both peace between the kingdoms and the continuation of his own.
No one really cares that Sekk'ral is ripping a fox a new arsehole every evening, as it doesn't affect the common dragon's life one bit. The king tells Sekk'ral that he's still prince, but is actually the second born, and is told to leave the kingdom. He does, willingly, but the relatively short-lived fox dies eventually, leaving Sekk'ral a heartbroken, still young male dragon with no home. He returns to the kingdom and begs the now-king General for anything, but is told instead that if he persists he will be banished. Sekk'ral persists, is stripped of all titles, and thrown out of the kingdom on the pain of death if he returns. He dies a lonely broken soul, and thousands of years later adventurers looking for ancient treasure stumble upon his cave. The skeletons of a fox and a dragon lay scattered by time, and the adventurers assume an epic battle took place as the fox struggled for his life before succumbing to the dragon, who died shortly after due to wounds from the encounter.
