This information changed the narrative. If the dynasty hadn't bound him yet, didn't this mean the empire had a chance to get him?
If they could get such a talented person, wouldn't he become a protector whose strength was unmatched?
In fact, he might become the empire's greatest strength.
At the same time, it didn't change the fact that he posed a threat. If he couldn't be controlled by the empire, he could become a threat that might destroy the empire.
Still, there was one thing that almost erased that opinion. It was the fact that Nathan had brought the cloud-repelling device here.
If he had loyalty to the dynasty, there was no way he would smuggle the cloud-repelling device to the empire.
In other words, he should like the empire more than the dynasty.
But it was precisely for this reason that they had this headache. Despite having shown his love to the empire, what the second prince had done was simply heartbreaking.
