Punishment

A few minutes earlier.

The four students were having a peaceful breakfast when Emi asked Jinmu a question.

"Brother Jinmu, what is a crown prince? I heard from Elder Flock yesterday that brother Lucan was a crown prince too."

Jinmu felt conflicted.

Even though he viewed Lucan as an enemy he will never forgive, explaining to Emi the concept of a crown prince was no different from mocking the person who lost the title, particularly when done right in front of his face.

Unfortunately, Olivia was there to ruin the mood.

"Ah, Emi. The crown prince is a title given to the heir of the Morning Star Empire's emperor. Sadly, your brother Lucan wasn't cut for it.", she said in a mocking tone, "At least your big sister remains the heir to the throne of her father. Isn't it wonderful, Emi?"
