The gold-haired first prince nodded his head with an emotionless face, but the threatening aura around him was so powerful that even Benevirau and Aspakeony went silent and turned to him with worried expressions.

"With pleasure, cousin. But... I thought that you didn't want to choose that way."

Zoemi nodded in response, leaving Miriette's side and approaching the gold-haired prince.

His words were what made the first prince change his expression into a morbid smile of a true tyrant.

"Because I didn't. But as you can clearly see for yourself, my hand is being forced. And I am not someone who tries to ignore my problems until they go away."
