"…Give them a normal life?" Rui growled. "That option was gone the second you exposed my identity as a prince. You just put a target on their backs!"

The Emperor heaved a sigh. "Yes, but it can be undone if you choose to become Emperor. You can still give them a good life with the powerful royal protection that you won't have access to as a prince. You can ensure that they go about their lives as normally as they did before with the power of the Kandrian Empire."

Rui stared at him intensely as he considered the proposition.
