Chapter 1407 - His Biggest Wish (2/2)

That was why he’d remained ignorant of everything. He even hoped that he could leave the Northern Kingdom and never return.

All because he held hatred in his heart, and contempt towards his father for remarrying his stepmother. But now that his father had pa.s.sed away, all that hatred turned into heartbreak.

He lowered his head and could not say anything.

“Now’s not the time for you to feel down. It’s time for you to make a choice,” Helian Qingyu said as he patted Huangpu Xuanye on his shoulder. “Do you want to live in Estan as a n.o.body forever? Or do you want to go back and protect your bloodline? Your legacy?”

Huangpu Xuanye did not reply, and Helian Qingyu continued.

“You should also know that your stepmother has announced that she will take the throne in one month. Do you really want to watch your country fall? Have you ever thought about why you were targeted? Don’t you think that it was not a coincidence that you got attacked and your father pa.s.sed away at the same time?”

Huangpu Xuanye remained silent for a very long time.

“Brother Qingyu, I want to go back to attend my father’s funeral,” Huangpu Xuanye finally opened his mouth and said.

He had decided to not run away anymore. He was his father’s only son, the sole heir to the throne.

If he ran away and hid in Estan, others would definitely laugh at him.

He had hated politics in the past, but now he had to face them as that had been his responsibility from the beginning.

Helian Qingyu was happy that he was able to convince Huangpu Xuanye, but it was not the time for the prince to return yet.

“I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t move a lot with your wound. You’ll only put yourself in danger if you go back now.”
