After a day, Kage finally regained his strength and was fit to move on his own. As he expected, a lot had happened. He didn't quite know what, but the gazes of the servants and guards as they fell on him were different—they were glittering.
So Kage suspected there had been some manic twisting of all this that had benefited him greatly... more than he'd actually anticipated.
Which was a bad thing. Because Kage hated things that weren't within his control and things born from people's abrupt conclusions. If the abrupt conclusions were born within his control or were his plan, it would have been good.
He just hadn't planned to gain any public nod from all this. All he wanted was to teach his brother a lesson for watching him and making him read a damn boring book for three days, and also to free Hwi-Geon.
These two were already more than enough boons.
