Chapter 49 - The Root Cause of the Curse

A young crown prince was compelled by his father to travel the world three years before inheriting the kingdom.

The young prince has been raised in a safe environment his entire life. And was closed with the empire's nobles.

He lacked an understanding of how ordinary people live.

At the time, the emperor wanted his son to understand the plight of ordinary people.

He fantasizes that his son will be a more effective ruler than him, who has blood on his hands.

He ordered that the crown prince not expose his identity for three years while traveling across the world.

If his identity is revealed, he will lose his claim to the kingdom.

As a result, the young crown prince accepts his father, the emperor's, challenge.

During the first several days, the young crown prince was taken aback by the realization that the world he knew was vastly different from the one known to others.

He witnessed the inequitable treatment of those in positions of power.

It was natural for him for aristocratic blood to dominate over poor borns.

But this time he was surprised to find himself subjected to the same discrimination as the low-born people he usually mocks.

It was a sudden realization that he needed to do something to make things better.

The young crown prince's personality was improving.

But it appeared that fate was teasing them.

In one of his travels, the young crown prince undertakes a quest to save a princess of a formidable tribe.

An opposing tribe captured the Princess.

He was only doing his job at first. He requires funds for his travels. He was also intrigued by the prospect of rescuing the princess.

He frequently read stories about the prince rescuing the princess in difficulty and then marrying her.

He wasn't that stupid to believe that the princess would fall in love with him on her own. But it was worth a shot.

It took him three months to look into that. He had previously met the aforementioned Princess.

He developed a crush on the princess and knew who was with her was the kidnapper.

He performed an excellent job in rescuing the Princess and returning her to her tribe.

And was generously rewarded. He wanted to see the Princess, but her tribe refused him.

Because they had no idea he was also a royal. The young royal princes, on the other hand, were unconcerned.

He carried on with his life and liked his travels.

He returned three years after his agreement with his father.

He was overjoyed to return to his home realm and see his adored father.

His father, though, was dying, much to his amazement. When he was not present, there was a rebellion.

Even though his father was successful in extinguishing the insurrection, it cost him his life.

It forced the young crown prince to take the throne after his father died the same day he arrived.

The new emperor was filled with the spirit of justice.

He seeks justice and retribution for his father.

He grew up to be a ruthless and clever young emperor.

He cleansed all the opportunistic nobility and executed all those who were participating in the common people's uprising.

The youthful emperor became an iron fist to his foes while being regarded as a gentle ruler by his citizens.

After two years, he had already repaired the empire, and there was a need for him to have a successor.

He recalls his first love, the princess of the northern power tribe.

He dispatches an emissary to that territory to request her marriage.

It went well when his new bride arrived, and their marriage became a great event in his kingdom.

With all the chaos in his life, the young monarch yearned for warmth and love.

He was hoping to get it with his new queen.

But it was a harsh reality that smacked him across the face.

Knowing that his new wife despises him, he gazed at him with disgust.

He's curious as to why, so he asks others to look into it.

He eventually realized. The princess was not abducted but instead eloped with the enemy prince tribe.

Then he was the one who murdered the princess's lover.

He realizes it was his fault because he was unaware of what had occurred.

But she was his wife, after all. He can't accept the reality that his wife has feelings for another man.

He tried everything he could to gain his wife's love, but it was all in vain.

As a result of his overwhelming desire to be loved, he married many women and took many concubines, but it never made him happy.

Even though he had children with other women, he never forgot about his first wife.

He forced himself on her one day and was blessed with one child, Xly.

His mother gave him the name Xlyla.

He reasoned that this might be the time for his love to accept him and their child.

But, to his chagrin, Prince Xly was born after only a few days.

He discovered Xlyla's death and her curse on their child.

This will transform their son into a bloodthirsty demon. If his life's love dies for any reason. He will even drink the blood of his children.

It pained the younger monarch to learn this. With her, he adored his son. However, his son was involved.

His devotion to his son, Prince Xly, became an obsession later in life. He only wants what is best for him.

He was in charge of all aspects of Prince Xly's life.

One thing he feared was that if the curse was caused by his stupid error of loving someone who would not love him back would be known by his son.

He dont wants his son hows that it was his mother who cursed him. He rather is hated by his son than his son being hurt by the truth about his mother.
