And because of this exact reason, Prime Minister Luci could not acknowledge Ethan just as he couldn't acknowledge the Consort.
"Whether you like it or not, you are Consort Min's weakness."
However, while he hated the Consort to death, he felt that he could stretch out his hand to Ethan and form an alliance with him.
"You must block the Consort. That is the only way you can live."
"Do you think that those men will be able to kill me?"
His voice was monotonous and he betrayed no emotion. Although he took after his father, at times like this, Luci couldn't see his mother nor his father in him.
"Or are you using the excuse of me blocking her to turn me into a son who killed his mother?"
Feeling as if Ethan had read his mind, Luci's brow slightly twitched.
Seeing this, Ethan swallowed the bile that rose in his throat. There was no reason for Luci to show such a side of himself to Ethan at his own detriment.
