'W-What is he saying?'
Alexander staggers back as he hears Ares's words and his body becomes numb.
~What is the meaning of this?!!! ~
A scene of him snapping out in the imperial meeting room before the crown prince who looked older than he is now, and sitting on the emperor's throne appeared in his mind and the scenarios kept playing.
~Don't play dumb with me! ~
~You think you can humiliate my family like this and I would just continue to loyally serve you? ~
~She is my daughter! The mother of our empire, your empress! And you let some mistress bear your child and name them as heir? ~
~I have allowed you to disrespect her for too long, Your Majesty! ~
~She is a daughter of the Daltons and deserves your respect, even if only purely for her duke lineage! ~
