Chapter 122
Let us speak for a moment of a certain boy.
In terms of talent alone, he was among the elite. Fortunate enough to be born a nobleman’s son in these troubled times, he had grown up wanting for nothing.
He hadn’t been abused or mistreated. On the contrary, his parents adored him. There were no apparent problems.
Yet, his nature was twisted.
He derived immense pleasure from taking what others cherished, feeling a sense of omnipotence, like a king.
Unfortunately, no one indulged his twisted desires.
Perhaps it would have been different in times of peace, but now, even nobles clinging to power could fall from grace in an instant. His parents stressed restraint, and their judgment was sound.
It simply didn’t suit the boy.
