When he thought back to that day, when Owesser traveled all the way from the capital to find him and said many things to him:
“My beloved royal brother, a lot has happened in the capital recently.”
The Second Prince's face, with its ambiguous smile, seemed as fake as a mask.
Albany disliked it very much.
But Owesser told him a lot.
The news concerned the mother's return to the capital and the fact that the younger sister had been chosen by the emperor as the future heir to the throne.
Upon hearing the news that his younger sister had been chosen, Albany also felt an indescribable disappointment.
After all, how could a prince not yearn for the supreme throne?
Despite his numerous achievements, it never seemed to be enough in his father's eyes.
He knew this too, because his father knew his situation best...
Moreover, having held out in the south for over a decade, he had effectively lost his right to vie for the throne.
If given the chance, he, Albany, should have stayed in the capital instead of leading the army in the south.
Even though he knew all this, he still couldn't bear to tell these people the truth when he was surrounded by countless admiring and supportive eyes.
Therefore, he could only give them hope again and again, and tell them:
"By learning to be patient, we will eventually achieve something."
Albany has always been like this, learning to be patient, control his emotions, and always treating people with gentleness and kindness.
However, when Owesser uttered those words, he couldn't help but erupt in anger for the first time:
“Aurelian is just a girl; the throne should not be inherited by her.”
"We should have done it earlier..."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of straightening his hand and rubbing it across his neck twice.
This was also the first time Albany had felt so angry at his family.
"Oweiser, you beast!"
"Get out of here! Never show your face in the South again, and never appear before me again!"
Looking back on that incident now, Albany sighed.
That time, he lost control of his emotions.
Although Owesser spoke to him with a smile, Albany could clearly see something in his brother's hypocritical and kind eyes—
'envy'.
If he, as the eldest brother, had discovered it earlier, perhaps he could have corrected Oweiser's personality sooner.
But now, it's all too late.
Just as he didn't notice Saphiros's sudden disappearance for a month, which made the southern front even more strained.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he paused slightly.
Why did the monster rift erupt in chaos exactly one month after Oweser appeared?
Thinking of this, before Albany could make a move, three people happened to pass by in front of him.
A head of long, golden hair swept past his eyes, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.
That one just now, wasn't she Duke Reeves' daughter?
With this question in mind, he became particularly curious about the three people who passed by.
Just as the eldest prince was about to turn his head to take a closer look, his gaze suddenly locked onto the last woman wearing a long robe.
Although the long, flowing robe concealed her figure, he unconsciously sensed a familiar aura.
At that moment, an incredulous glint appeared in Albany's eyes.
His lips moved, and his voice trembled slightly:
"...Safiros?"
