章 1918: Moonlight

Ryu slowly opened his eyes.

Not having his Life Partner by his side for so many years was definitely a hamper on his progress. He was so aimless sometimes, and it made him miss the days when Ailsa would tell him exactly what to do.

It was an odd thought for him to have, especially when he was both so arrogant and likewise so angry with her right now. But she was also his wife and one of the only women that could make him change his approach to life.

After reading the documents that she had left behind, he realized even more how powerful her presence in his life had been.

But he had already known this… and these thoughts didn't change much at all.

Right now, he wasn't here by the grace of Ailsa's kindness. He was here because he was a Throne and no one could stop him from reading what he wanted to read regardless of the circumstances.

Ryu slowly stood to his feet to find that many were looking right at him.
