After leaving his father's tent, Crown Prince Owine went straight to his tent and sat down on a chair. Recalling his conversation with his father, he narrowed his eyes as familiar helplessness washed through him.
He knew that his health could get worse at any time but his father won't budge no matter what he said. However, he did know one thing - that his father will have to make a decision, sooner or later. Once his illness became known to the public, he knew that he wouldn't be able to hold his position for long. An heir issue would soon evolve as he was still without a wife and a child.
Even now, the fact that he was still unmarried at 24 was always the debate of the court even without anyone knowing his illness.
