On the surface, he is a perfect Father. But hidden, he is guiding his son to be cruel and heartless.
He is encouraging his son to follow his path in cruelty while hiding his cruel nature from everyone else.
It is very commendable about how he can do such feats very flawlessly.
No one had even doubted for a second about him being a warm and perfect Father. In their eyes he has always been a perfect person and most of the people around always try their best to be like him too.
The Eleventh prince did not show any more sadness after listening to his father's words but instead felt encouraged and comforted. Hence he used the back of his hand to clear all the tear stains from his chubby cheeks as he nodded his head while saying with a confident tone, "Yes Father. I understand."
In fact the Eleventh prince did not expect to win this competition today either.
