His words were the very definition of arrogance. It was as if he were pointing at the nose of every member of the Royal Family present and calling them useless trash.
He was giving a perfect demonstration of the saying, "I'm not targeting you; I'm targeting everyone here."
And while he wasn't wrong,
those present were naturally indignant.
Immediately, a member of the Royal Family who was on bad terms with the Eldest Prince sneered, "Oh? Since the Eldest Prince claims we are all trash, does that mean you're not a child of the Royal Family?"
Another clan relative's eyebrows shot up as he said angrily, "The Eldest Prince isn't the Emperor yet, but he already holds the Clan Relatives in such contempt. If His Majesty passes away and you ascend the throne, wouldn't you become completely lawless?"
These were very serious words.
One could even say he was blatantly trying to drive a wedge between the Emperor and the Eldest Prince.
