In the past ten years, up to a billion soldiers from the Empire had died in battle. Thus, the ministers disliked the ambitious Prince Hughes and instead supported the gentle and kind Princess Therese.
Now Murphy finally realized they were wrong.
The one who truly resembled the Emperor was not Hughes, but Therese.
"Just like him! The Emperor must have known all along."
Wasn't Emperor Joseph V, before the coup, the same as now? Once he had power, his true nature was revealed, full of ambition. While biding his time, he patiently schemed in the shadows.
Completely lacking in royal grace.
Murphy stood up, snorted coldly without mercy, and turned around to leave, not lingering for a moment longer.
He shouldn't have come today, and he definitely shouldn't have given Therese another chance.
Some people are born to be kings, others no matter how much they disguise themselves remain mere rats lurking in the dark.
