"Your attitude has already revealed everything."
Aaron nodded, understanding that there must be some inside story between the "Son of the Dawn" and the Sodoma Royal Family.
"If you really want to know, then I'll tell you... My Father Emperor decided to get rid of that monster because it always sided with the church... even though it was born relying on our Sodoma bloodline." Princess Sofia sneered.
"The struggle between royal power and divine power?" Aaron knew his guess was correct.
Thinking of the parade crowd and Cui Si's experience, he couldn't help but ask, "Why... didn't you share the benefits with the citizens?"
"The royal family is not foolish; we certainly see the contradictions and the explosive situation of the lower class... but we are powerless." Sofia sighed, "My Father Emperor seems to hold supreme power, yet he might not even be able to trust the captain of the Imperial Guard... not to mention the church!"
"The church?" Aaron was surprised.
