Khan had a hard time recovering. Truth be told, his interaction with Prince Thomas' sons had been almost non-existent after claiming complete leadership over the faction. That behavior wasn't even a matter of choice. Khan had simply been too busy with more important figures to deal with his Cousins.
All things considered, Prince Desmond, Prince Thomas' firstborn, wasn't even that bad. The young man knew his place and could provide decent insights and suggestions. He was Prince William and Princess Felicia's peer, but his brother was a different story altogether.
Khan couldn't help but recall when he had thrown Prince Richard, Prince Thomas' second-born, outside the space station's hangar. That offense and trauma wasn't something a mere year could fix. Khan had seen something similar with Francis, so he knew time was useless there.
