Chapter 168: You Don’t Know What I’d Do… For You
[KAWAI]
The walk to the breakfast table was a tad different this morning for Tamiko. He could hear the shouts outside, the calls for the king to give him up and follow the actual system put in place.
He could feel the anger that the people had over the murder of Hanzo and his son and he could tell that this wasn’t going to be easy for anyone. It was the one gamble that it seemed like the king had placed and one that they would have to struggle to figure out at the same time.
However, unlike the other days when Tamiko was supposed to despise everything his father did for him, the days when he hated being associated with the king for obvious reasons, today was different.
The young prince held his head high as he joined his father, erasthai, and uncle at the table, with Danny tagging along. He looked like he didn’t have another place to be this time, and he was actually smiling through the chaos.
It was a sight that got the king to raise a brow, because while he had been expecting his son to come back for breakfast., he was sure there would still be a frown on his little angel’s face. So, this is just not what he had imagined and it was creeping the king out.
’Did something happen to him?’ King Zaffuto asked himself as he kept his eyes on his son.
He wasn’t sure whether to be happy that he looked happy or be curious because his son was never to openly smile like that, especially not when coming to share a table with him.
The king was tempted to think that their little talk last night had done wonders, but he was smart enough to know that his son was never one to be swayed by words. Tamiko had heard everything and lived through sweet and harsh words.
