"All fault is mine. The elders were merely following my orders. I am willing to give my life to appease Cain Scarlet's wrath. All I ask is for you to spare my clan, especially the younger generation. They know nothing of the discord within the family."
At this moment, the Nango family head was virtuous and majestic, bringing many to tears. Yet, Ernest Nango sneered at this, comparing his father's poise in front of Cain Scarlet for which he himself paid the price. Why couldn't he be as resolute in protecting his own when faced with the pressure from the elders?
This stark comparison chilled his heart. Indeed, before himself and the family, the sense of responsibility that lay heavily upon the family head always prevailed. His only child, yet he was rendered weak and helpless in the face of family obligation.
