章節 766: To Be Honest

Kakarotto was placed in the most protected area of the palace — a section reserved only for the king or the crown prince. But after arriving in the imperial city, he didn't meet the King, and he didn't seem to care at all.

The King had only one daughter, but everyone knew she had left long ago and never returned. This meant he had no available successor, making Kakarotto's placement even more shocking to everyone.

That night, the king sent a messenger to summon Kakarotto. When they finally met again, the monarch seemed in even worse shape, needing much more energy just to open his eyes.

"Did you like my home and the imperial city?" asked the king with a gentle smile, something rare on his hardened face.
