Despite speaking in a calm and composed manner, Aditya never allowed the hatred buried deep within his heart to appear on his face. To everyone present, he looked rational and collected.
However, only he knew the truth. Long ago, Ren had already crossed the point where forgiveness or redemption was possible. From the moment he chose ambition over family, power over morality, and the Imperial Throne over the lives of his own blood relatives, he had already sealed his own fate.
There would never be reconciliation between the two of them. There would never be mercy. When the day finally came, Ren would die by Aditya's own hands.
Aditya could never forgive Ren for stealing his childhood. He had been born as the son of the King and Queen of the strongest Empire in the entire world. He should have grown up surrounded by the unconditional love of his parents, learning from his father, being cared for by his mother, and creating countless precious memories together with his family.
