章 2323: Earning War

Rui stirred at his father's words with an amused expression. "Well, that's a very generous definition of 'bad luck.' He lost because I sabotaged my own campaign from the very start. If I hadn't, I would be sitting in your place right now."

Rui personally was very satisfied with the choice that he had made more than eight years ago. Not going for the throne, in hindsight, was a no-brainer, and it was a wonder that he even gave it any regard whatsoever. Of course, this was a typical twenty-twenty hindsight moment; he hadn't forgotten the immense amount of pressure he had felt after his father had revealed his identity as a royal prince to the entire world.

Still, his decision to pretend to fight for the throne and instead search the Beast Domain for the Divine Doctor was one that amounted to the greatest political scandal of all time.
