This was not some innocent person caught in unfortunate circumstances. The Third Prince had ruined countless lives simply because he could. To him, people had merely been tools, toys, and stepping stones.
Perhaps it was exactly because of his father that he had grown into this sort of person.
Thinking this, Michael could not help comparing the emperor to the old Lionheart King. The old king had been far weaker than the Black Serpent Emperor. In terms of power alone, the two were worlds apart.
Even as a father, the old king could not truly be called perfect either, but in Michael's opinion that old man was still worthy of respect. At the very least, he had genuinely cared about his children.
As for the emperor, Michael's eyes turned slightly colder. Compared to the old king, that man felt more like a monster wearing human skin.
Eventually, Michael lost interest in the Third Prince completely. Without bothering to continue further, Michael calmly raised his hand.
