The Few Who Realized (2)

Leon was silent. 

He looked at his father and seemed to understand something. Even if Duke Sun didn't explain everything to him clearly, but he was not stupid and could hear the implications behind his father's words. 

It was just…

"You're a duke, aren't you, Father?" Leon asked. "Can't you make your own decision?"

Duke Sun smiled. "I might be a duke, but I'm not the person who stood at the highest position. Leon, you have to understand that for me to stand in this position, there are people whom I can't offend and had to listen to."

Everyone thought that he was free to do whatever he wanted, but Duke Sun knew very well that it was wrong.

He had many things that he couldn't do.

Even if he wanted to, there were many restrictions given to him and Duke Sun could only follow through with it. He couldn't show what he truly wanted on the surface or there would be people who would go and accused him for being disloyal and many other things.
