"Cesar, how could you side with Lucien in any of this?" Francis sneered, taking a step back in the middle of the corridor. "He manipulated the truth out of me! What you saw isn't the whole story."
"Father, how can you stand there and lie to my face?" Cesar blurted out, his hands clenching into fists at his sides. "Do you even realize what you've done?! You brought dark witches into our home and burned everything to the ground! You tried to break Lucien, to turn him into a weapon for your own greed. You plotted every single part of this for yourself!"
Francis spun around, barking at his elite knight, "Restrain the Crown Prince! That's an order!"
The knight stood frozen, refusing to move.
"Accept your defeat, Father," Cesar said coldly. "No one will obey you after the atrocities you committed. You murdered Leia's mother in cold blood, and you don't feel a shred of remorse."
