Would an Emperor feel fear?
Yes, indeed!
Hou Rongfa quietly answered in his heart, and it was that kind of fear of the inner chamber.
The scene before him was truly life-threatening.
Initially, he was worried that Prince Ning might become the Devil King, but after all this time, he had no such worries. This person never meddles in politics, nor does he disturb the busy Emperor. He increasingly felt that Prince Ning lived in the Imperial Palace simply because His Majesty was there.
But at the same time, he had a gut feeling that if Prince Ning wanted, nothing could bind him, including His Majesty... Even if the palace could physically confine Prince Ning, it could not restrain his heart. With Prince Ning's personality, if His Majesty chose to do so, the two might never return to how they were.
So now he's worried about the day Prince Ning grows tired of His Majesty.
Bah! How could he have such treasonous thoughts? Stop, stop.
