In these two days, Military Advisor Xiting of the Rakshasa King has been very busy.
He traveled back and forth to Rakshasa City twice.
This time, he conveyed the Rakshasa King’s edict, ordering the Rakshasa Crown Prince to go to the headquarters of the Demon Alliance in the Yun E Clan to personally explain himself to the Rakshasa King.
Inside the vast hall, there were only the Rakshasa King and Little Rakshasa King.
Little Rakshasa King knelt straight on the ground.
"Crown Prince, there cannot be two suns in the sky or two rulers on earth," said the Rakshasa King. "A single voice can only be heard in a demon race, and if you want to dictate the universe, you may be too hasty."
Little Rakshasa King remained silent.
The Rakshasa King continued, "Previously, you were being rebellious, singing a different tune from me and from the high ranks of the Demon Alliance, but that was still tolerable. Now, you have dispatched such a powerful force to guard the Dichacha Defensive Line; what do you think the consequences will be?"
Little Rakshasa King said, "Father King can consider this as filling in the gaps. I believe King Dichacha will still appreciate your kindness."
"Haha..." The Rakshasa King said, "So, what you mean is that you do good deeds, and I receive the gratitude, is that right? I should thank you, Crown Prince?"
Little Rakshasa King replied, "That’s not what I meant, but it’s the fact."
"I don’t need... I don’t need..." The Rakshasa King shouted angrily: "Everyone will only laugh at me. The Crown Prince of my Rakshasa Tribe does not obey my orders and dares to defy my edicts. I’ll become the laughing stock of the entire Demon Alliance."
Little Rakshasa King stated, "Father King, you are overthinking."
The Rakshasa King said, "Crown Prince, you, such a clever person, tell me, do you know that your actions will lead me to lose face?"
"I know." Little Rakshasa King responded.
The Rakshasa King questioned, "Then why do you still do this? Do you see me as neither a father nor a king?"
Little Rakshasa King replied, "I certainly wish to uphold Father’s supreme authority, but comparatively, I believe the highest interests of the Rakshasa Tribe and the so-called Demon Alliance are more important. For the greater good, I can only set aside minor matters."
Upon hearing these words, the Rakshasa King almost couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at his son.
He felt dizzy and his mind went blank.
The Crown Prince’s words were like a dagger to his heart. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
These words stirred unprecedented anger within him.
"Hahaha... hahaha..." The Rakshasa King laughed bitterly: "Crown Prince, you are truly extraordinary. Everyone else in this world is a fool, only you are wise, you look down upon everyone, even your own Father King, hahaha..."
Then, the Rakshasa King’s face turned incredibly cold and said, "But Crown Prince, don’t forget, while your wings are still growing, the position of Crown Prince that I bestowed upon you can also be taken back."
"I know, Father can abolish me with just a word, and I will not resist at all." Little Rakshasa King replied.
"Don’t assume I wouldn’t dare. Besides you, I have another excellent son." The Rakshasa King said coldly.
Little Rakshasa King said, "However, even if you want to abolish me, don’t do it now. Wait until the war breaks out, and if it proves that I am wrong, then Father can abolish me later."
"What do you mean?" The Rakshasa King asked.
Little Rakshasa King said, "Father, just follow my plan now. Let me deploy the main elite forces of the Crown Prince’s residence, the Werewolf Legion, and the Monster Race United Army to the Dichacha Defensive Line. If during the war, Tiancha King and Di Nie don’t attack the Dichacha Clan, then I’ll be proven wrong, and you can abolish me."
"By then it will be too late..." The Rakshasa King shouted sternly.
"No, it won’t be..." Little Rakshasa King said. "The army I dispatched to the Dichacha Defensive Line comprises over two hundred thousand troops, mostly the Sky Legion, along with ten thousand of the Werewolf Legion, which move very fast. By then, even if I’m wrong, we can redirect them to the Rakshasa Defense Line in time. Otherwise, it will be too late..."
Little Rakshasa King bowed his head, saying, "Father, I am willing to use my position as Crown Prince, even my life as a stake. Are you still stingy with your reputation? Does my life and position as Crown Prince still not compare to your face?"
These words almost made the Rakshasa King cough up blood.
This Crown Prince speaks little, but when he does, his words are indeed infuriating.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the immense anger in his heart, the Rakshasa King slowly said, "Fine, if you seek your own destruction, I will grant it. I agree, let your troops go to support the Dichacha Defensive Line. But if the outbreak of war leads to the enemy’s primary attack not being on the Dichacha Clan, I will abolish your position as Crown Prince and allow You Ming to inherit my throne."
"Fine!" Little Rakshasa King responded calmly.
His tone remained indifferent, as if the position of Crown Prince weighed lightly in his heart.
Seeing Little Rakshasa King in this manner, the Rakshasa King’s heart ached with sadness and was filled with rage.
His son is so outstanding, he should be very proud.
But why is this son so dissonant with him? Why does he not respect him as a father?
He never did anything wrong. Despite indulging the illegitimate son You Ming, he never intended to move on the position of Crown Prince. Instead, he desperately protected his authority as Crown Prince.
Crown Prince proposed to recruit Lanling, and the Rakshasa King agreed.
The Crown Prince suggested marrying Princess Sha Yan to Lanling, and he agreed.
Why does the Crown Prince still remain distant and divisive from him, even looking down on him, the Father King, though he doesn’t show it?
