Besides, the root of this trouble was his own illegitimate son.

If he had controlled his urges back then, none of this would have happened.

He had no right to dispute anything, however displeased or unwilling he might be.

Andrew consoled himself with the thought that at least the power remained with his son, not some outsider.
