"You imbecile son of mine!" Emperor Krazeri's voice boomed like thunder as soon as he met his son, the crown prince and the future prince of the empire.
"Father?" The prince trembled as he held his swollen right cheek, which the emperor struct with the back of his sword.
"What-what did I do?" The crown prince's voice trembled.
"You really don't know what you have done?!" The emperor couldn't contain his anger as he struck the prince once again.
"You're a humiliation to my kin!" The emperor angrily shouted. "Why did I have a foolish son like you ?!"
The prince cowered as he protected his head to receive another strike from his father, the emperor.
But the emperor, seeing his worthless son, massaged the temples of his head.
"After all the effort I did to tie the Marina duchy to us! You broke the engagement just like that!"
"I don't love her, father!" The prince stood firm. "She hurt Hyun Jae, I just did what I needed to do!"
