I thought Rowan was the best swordsman in the land, he shoulda just killed those two guards and then the shitty prince then stormed the king and killed him. Fuck the whole imperial family
@TheGodEmperor
He mentioned in a previous chapter that the only reason he’s keeping the Duchy and his title is so he can prevent his kids from going through what he did, so that’s why he’s trying to fight this issue legally so that they can just return in peace.
Also, even if he just kills everyone, the public won’t accept a murder of who they assume to be innocent and righteous. The prince covers up the incompetence of the King, so the masses wouldn’t really know that he’s just lazing around. And the prince has maintained a solid facade, it seems.
@sakuchu The majority of the masses won't really care and, iirc, they weren't exactly happy with the King/Prince and preferred the Duke. Is that why the King even mentioned the favorability of the Duke prior?
They should just die and he should be the one to kill them. Especially since
