"Although he is currently in a position that I will soon take as my own, I would like to give my hyung one last job as the Crown Prince. Once all the preparations have been made, I will meet with my brother and ask him to take care of the General."
As someone who hated Ethan with a passion, Cedric would be more than willing to take that matter into his own hands.
Once Ethan was eliminated, Cedric would be next. The second prince believed that Gideon would soon be his, and there was no need for the both of them to exist in the future he envisioned.
As for the opposing factions, they could easily be removed. For starters, he needed to show his power by eliminating the arrogant beast that dared to bare its teeth to him.
"Let us start by getting rid of the General."
The duke burst into laughter at the second prince's declaration.
Liquor continued to pour and the sound of women's laughter rang in the harmonious scene.
