"You! How could you? You clearly know why I chose the military in the first place, then why?" Ermaan asked back, while trying to gather his calm.
"You wanted to save the people, who were dear to you. Isn't it?" Derek asked to which Ermaan nodded.
"Then that's what you will be doing. By sitting on the throne. You will be saving our people." Derek replied.
"I can't. You know that. I have to be at the frontline to save my people. I have to be the wall between the danger and my people. A King can never do that. You, yourself, won't allow me to do that." Ermaan said with clenched teeth.
"Why? I happen to know a legendary King who has done that." Derek said and Ermaan fell silent. He knew very well, about whom Derek was referring to.
