Xie Yu raised his hand and quietly wiped away his tears.
He still was the stubborn young Emperor, unwilling to show his weakness to the outside world.
Turning his back on the Regent King, Xie Yu's tone remained as calm as possible: "I ask you, since you've decided to rebel, why did you help when you saw those people attacking the Imperial City?"
"Isn't my death your ultimate goal?"
The Regent King lifted his head, murmuring desolately, "I only resented Your Majesty for disregarding years of ruler-official relationship and repeatedly humiliating me."
"But when that immense army truly surrounded the edge of the Imperial City, I couldn't stand by and do nothing."
"The lands of Yan Country have come this far under my support of Your Majesty."
"How could I watch all my efforts go to waste, how could I watch as Your Majesty is harmed by others!"
"Therefore, I did not hesitate; I and my son went into battle to slay enemies, even if it meant dying, it would be for Yan Country."
