“It’s not something to be purely impressed by. If he’s going to handle things recklessly like that, what’s the point of having an organization? There’s an order to everything.”3dd929764c9ce3c4

“Of course, you have a point, but in a way, wasn’t it perfect timing? With the change of commanders, the internal tension was high, so the backlash was minimal. …In the end, it turned out well. The surroundings have become very clean, and it’s quite peaceful these days. It’ll be quiet for at least 3 or 4 years. I’m very pleased.”949af734b2f314ee

The man in the suit raised an eyebrow with a cold expression. He didn’t seem to appreciate the Emperor’s praise and admiration from across the room. Without hiding his displeasure, the man in the suit silently stared at the teacup in his hand. The Emperor, who had burst into hearty laughter, adjusted his posture, noticing the man’s silence. The Emperor leaned forward, placing his arms on his knees, and tilted his head as if trying to read the man’s expression.e93e06b8c75161f2

“So, what exactly is your problem, Logan? If your son did something commendable, you should know how to praise him.”9a5f7270133dcd77

Logan took a sip 687152b517 of tea, showing a dafb714a49 sharp gaze towards the ae61793ab3 Emperor. The Emperor, feeling 68c2de525e awkward in the 3fbd807a90 cold atmosphere, looked 1e033c5ce6 puzzled.0cf8b6c29fffaeb1

“You seem to be unusually strict with him. That’s why he goes astray. It seemed quiet after he went to the northern border.”1c3a7f29c0301dde

“He must have gone astray because he was prone to it. A child with a gentle nature doesn’t go astray just because his father scolds him a little.”0b4c7e6ad2a22d0d

“Well, if I were to strip Shane of his title as Crown Prince right now, he’d probably start a coup. Anyone would. And yet, he had his position as the heir of the Madison family overturned overnight, and if that’s the extent of his rebellion, he’s quite docile, isn’t he?”f1337606df444b69

“How is that docile? If I hadn’t volunteered to go to the northern border, he would still be causing fights wherever he went. How dare he, as a member of the Madison family, act so recklessly.”eb23a9ac1df0d0a2

Logan clicked 0ae43f4c7c his tongue ebc4ed7782 in anger, b041f77df0 and the 9571694a27 Emperor added 721bd8cf44 a layer 092efc028d of confusion 74d2484e90 to his 5fedcd0dc7 already puzzled 2aca16b077 expression.af5556a76a8372f4

“Sixteen is a sensitive age for anyone. Having his share taken away overnight would make anyone more sensitive. Moreover, when the decision about the heir was reversed, you didn’t even give a proper reason, did you? It was clear to everyone that Cayenne was superior to Dylan in every aspect.”d46eb22b2c09b820

“Do I need to convince the entire Empire of the family’s decision?”94a0f77dc285613c

“Of course, the decision about the heir is yours to make, but neither I nor Shane have come to terms with it. Shane, especially, grew up knowing Cayenne would be his personal commander.”fd9487caaab0ebcb

“Of course, it’s true that he was superior to Dylan in every aspect, but as he went through adolescence, he went astray, and there was nothing I could do. How could I let a child who is personally promiscuous lead the Madison family?”95152283438b3f36

The Emperor widened his eyes. It had been a long time since he last saw him, but the image of Cayenne in his mind didn’t match the word promiscuous. He remembered Cayenne as being flawless, resembling his father in every way except for his delicate appearance, which he got from his mother. Even though he gained a reputation as a troublemaker after the heir was changed, there had been no rumors of promiscuity before that.c6e28c934e1e82bf

Logan clicked his tongue again and furrowed his brow. The Emperor was appalled by Logan’s cold demeanor, showing no concern for his son.2518e310e1e20a8d

“Oh, come on. You’re really being harsh. I heard he almost had a major accident in the north. How can you leave such a precious child in such a harsh place? Even if I don’t know the details, everyone makes a mistake or two in their youth. Don’t be so harsh.”461c80c99141bb33

“Despite all the scandals, the only reason he’s still part of the Madison family is that he’s still doing his job properly. We are a family of knights. If he can’t fulfill his role as a knight, there’s no reason for him to be part of the Madison family.”5ee4ae2c6cd23b4e

Logan looked a5b28af7d8 at the 855d198782 carefree Emperor a95547b0d9 with eyes b451942832 full of 978477805e things he 916e51c6e2 wanted to f8dad704b2 say.

Logan replied obediently to the Emperor, but his response was close to a firm denial that it would never happen. The Emperor wasn’t so dull as to not notice. However, it wasn’t an issue worth pursuing against Logan’s icy demeanor.7777b114eef3e518
