"You seem displeased."
The Emperor's powerful voice echoed across the vast expanse of the Kandrian Throne Hall.
"Oh, I do, do I? You don't say."
Rui's sarcasm was palpable.
Yet the Emperor didn't seem to mind the impropriety.
"Your displeasure is very understandable." The Emperor remarked. "Yet you managed to retain your exterior composure even when bombarded with life-altering revelations in front of all the greatest powers of Kandria."
A hint of approval could be detected in his voice. "Had you grown unstable or had a mental breakdown, I would not have chosen you as my heir. It was…the final test."
Rui narrowed his eyes, glaring at the Emperor. "The final test?"
"Final test." The Emperor reaffirmed calmly. "You have passed all others with flying colors. You are truly a prince worthy of ascending the throne. You are worthy of being Emperor of Kandria."
"I don't understand."
Rui's voice betrayed the frustration that had rapidly built up since the revelation of his royal bloodship.
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND." He bellowed as a surge of emotion washed through him.
