Chapter 325: The Rising Golden Waves of Sound
When he had come to the council room, Tamiko had expected everything. He knew that there would be aspects that would make him question everything that he believed in, and he figured it would all be related to Kosta. He never imagined that his mother would be the subject at a meeting that he had hoped she wasn’t. Granted, he was out for revenge, but damn was it unsettling for him. He hated the feeling of being so weak that he couldn’t even say shit because he had never been there.
No matter what they tried to say about that attack years ago, it had obviously happened because of him. He was the heir that they had always controlled, and they had won when they took out everyone who could have saved him.
They had fucked him over from the very beginning.
"You were born, in case you’re racking your mind about what could have happened differently that day," King Zaffuto’s voice interrupted his son’s self-loathing and blaming session.
He had expected that Tamiko would be so against everything that was happening.
He had expected the little break down and frankly, a part of Zaffuto had hated the flashbacks, it was like he was being forced back into a lifetime he had done everything to get out of.
It wasn’t fair and no matter how hard Zaffuto tried to act like it was normal, they both knew that they could have figured it out with ease. This was something that Zaffuto had failed in so much and he hated himself for that.
He had spent the past twenty-six years despising himself and he wasn’t about to let his son go through that shit again. There isn’t much that Kaito could have done back then and even today.
He wanted his son to be alright and perhaps he was asking for the impossible of a broken son. The king knew his son had it in him.
