Chapter 2094: You Truly Have Feelings for Her

Luther continued, not caring if Clint wanted to listen or not. "I think you noticed us as early as when Yuchengxian and Athena started working together."

Clint's eyes darkened further.

Luther smiled. "The former Crown Prince, now the Crown Prince, has always been rumored to be violent, ruthless, and autocratic. You have a powerful maternal family, the Yoshikawa family. In Rohomes, the Yoshikawa family holds immense power, controlling vast wealth and dark forces. OGW was founded by the Yoshikawa family. The former commander of OGW was Cloud, Charity's adopted son. She had a great favor for Cloud, so he swore loyalty to her. However, later on, due to Athena targeting Joyce, everything changed, and Cloud eventually defected. The one who took over OGW was Aldis. To outsiders, you are seen as the mastermind behind the Yoshikawa family, using the evil OGW to eliminate your opponents and achieve your political goals. But that's not true; you just deliberately lived up to the image the Yoshikawa family wanted."

"For centuries, the royal family has been constrained by the Yoshikawa family. You wanted to break free from this but had to rely on their power. The best way was to use external forces to eliminate OGW, the Yoshikawa family's right-hand man. Initially, you let OGW intervene in Pascaylia with the goal of obtaining anti-electromagnetic pulse blueprints as a self-destructive move. You allowed Athena to collude with Yuchengxian just to accelerate OGW's downfall. Later, when Athena repeatedly failed and Cloud defected, you sent Aldis to take over OGW while making Athena believe you still supported her. In reality, you had Aldis intentionally sabotage things. Outwardly, you helped clean up the mess for the Yoshikawa family, but your real goal was to assist us in completely destroying OGW. In the end, all responsibility for OGW's destruction fell on Athena. With no evidence left against her and her blood ties to the Yoshikawa family, they had nothing to say and had no choice but to rely on you even more after losing OGW. Thus, you could begin your next step: completely eliminating the entire Yoshikawa family."

"Of course, you've paid a huge price for this. Your actions have caused constant misunderstandings with the Imperial Household Agency, leading them to oppose you and delaying last year's election repeatedly, destabilizing your position as Crown Prince. But you don't care."

Luther observed Clint's increasingly somber expression; he knew he had hit the mark.

"If you cared, there was an easier path: marrying Chiyuki. Marrying her would lower the Yoshikawa family's guard against you. With your cunning, you could infiltrate them more deeply and control them before destroying them easily."

Luther gave Clint a deep look. "I imagine this outcome must have disappointed you greatly because no one understood you-not even your father. Yet it doesn't matter to you; otherwise, how could you dare kidnap Joyce at such a critical moment? Clearly
