Chapter 13
“Hmm.”
The emperor’s hand gently cradled his chin, lost in thought.
All departed, leaving the grandeur of the throne room unoccupied. With an air of sovereignty, the emperor sat upon his throne, subtle laughter escaping his lips.
“Between myself and the second prince… Asking for an opportunity to prove who is more qualified. Hehe, huh.”
The emperor’s mind dwelled on his recently departed eldest son, Raciel.
The echoes of his son’s words reverberated within him, growing more astounding with each recollection and contemplation.
There was no choice but to accept it.
“Did that child ever have such a side?”
Unfazed by the ruler’s authority and the weight of his influence, Raciel boldly confronted him. His unwavering confidence allowed him to hold his ground, standing tall and locking eyes with the emperor.
