When Ren Suo left the Royal Court with Lanaya's Divine Descendant Guard, he found himself still fully embraced by the protective "Ambition Origin" of paternal love from Xides. With that, Ren Suo's last shred of fantasy quietly shattered.
Xides was aware that Lanaya was Great Lord Nocturnal's Great Shadow Method of the Three Imperial Clans. He also knew Lanaya was attempting to seize control of the throne to lead the dimension warfare and break free from the destiny of being a mere pawn in the Armored Da-jun. He kept Sony from leaving, yet he still let Lanaya stay close to Sony's side. Of course, such paternal love was much more than simply giving away a wife.
Ultimately, to reach that level of 'Self Satisfaction' capable of activating the Ambition Card, Xides even whipped the corpse of his own son. He crushed his bones and scattered his ashes, returning him to dust and earth, sending his son off on his final journey.
