Chapter 26

As the Emperor was enraged, Bipaan had no choice but to reply.

"That's true, Your Majesty!"

"Crown Prince!"

Thump!

The Emperor hit the armrest of his chair with his hands strongly. The sound resonated throughout the large executive office.

"It is clear that you don't want to be the next emperor, right? Don't you know how dangerous it is to succeed the throne without offspring?" Ohyulje shouted.

Bipaan sneered at him in his heart, though. The Emperor told him not to reveal his genuine feelings, but he now openly got enraged and expressed his surging anger at Bipaan. But Bipaan meekly accepted his severe rebuke with a poker face.

By the time Ohyulje calmed down finally. Bipaan said quietly, "Your Majesty, too many princes could bring about the clouds of blood through fierce fighting."

Bipaan's remarks implied a veiled criticism of the Emperor. In fact, Ohyulje had several brothers, and he had only succeeded the throne by killing them all.
