Luther continued, not caring if Clint wanted to listen or not. "I think you noticed us as early as when Yuchengxian and Athena started working together."
Clint's eyes darkened further.
Luther smiled. "The former Crown Prince, now the Crown Prince, has always been rumored to be violent, ruthless, and autocratic. You have a powerful maternal family, the Yoshikawa family. In Rohomes, the Yoshikawa family holds immense power, controlling vast wealth and dark forces. OGW was founded by the Yoshikawa family. The former commander of OGW was Cloud, Charity's adopted son. She had a great favor for Cloud, so he swore loyalty to her. However, later on, due to Athena targeting Joyce, everything changed, and Cloud eventually defected. The one who took over OGW was Aldis. To outsiders, you are seen as the mastermind behind the Yoshikawa family, using the evil OGW to eliminate your opponents and achieve your political goals. But that's not true; you just deliberately lived up to the image the Yoshikawa family wanted."
"For centuries, the royal family has been constrained by the Yoshikawa family. You wanted to break free from this but had to rely on their power. The best way was to use external forces to eliminate OGW, the Yoshikawa family's right-hand man. Initially, you let OGW intervene in Pascaylia with the goal of obtaining anti-electromagnetic pulse blueprints as a self-destructive move. You allowed Athena to collude with Yuchengxian just to accelerate OGW's downfall. Later, when Athena repeatedly failed and Cloud defected, you sent Aldis to take over OGW while making Athena believe you still supported her. In reality, you had Aldis intentionally sabotage things. Outwardly, you helped clean up the mess for the Yoshikawa family, but your real goal was to assist us in completely destroying OGW. In the end, all responsibility for OGW's destruction fell on Athena. With no evidence left against her and her blood ties to the Yoshikawa family, they had nothing to say and had no choice but to rely on you even more after losing OGW. Thus, you could begin your next step: completely eliminating the entire Yoshikawa family."
"Of course, you've paid a huge price for this. Your actions have caused constant misunderstandings with the Imperial Household Agency, leading them to oppose you and delaying last year's election repeatedly, destabilizing your position as Crown Prince. But you don't care."
Luther observed Clint's increasingly somber expression; he knew he had hit the mark.
"If you cared, there was an easier path: marrying Chiyuki. Marrying her would lower the Yoshikawa family's guard against you. With your cunning, you could infiltrate them more deeply and control them before destroying them easily."
"But you didn't do that because you didn't want to use yourself as a bargaining chip. So you chose the hardest path: not marrying Chiyuki, keeping the Yoshikawa family wary of you while facing opposition from the Imperial Household Agency and losing trust from your father. Your father didn't understand your intentions."
"Everyone thinks you're weak and cruel with an obsessive nature. Your father's hesitation stemmed from his initial intention for you to inherit the throne but being unable to ignore the Yoshikawa family's influence that had spread throughout Rohomes over centuries. He also wanted to weaken or eliminate them but worried about your autocratic tendencies potentially reversing national progress if you destroyed the Imperial Household Agency after taking power. So in his final moments, he took a risky gamble by leaving the throne to Reuben in hopes that the Imperial Household Agency could maintain control." Luther gave Clint a deep look. "I imagine this outcome must have disappointed you greatly because no one understood you-not even your father. Yet it doesn't matter to you; otherwise, how could you dare kidnap Joyce at such a critical moment? Clearly showing that other people's opinions mean nothing compared to achieving your own goals."
Clint gradually clenched his fists tightly around his bandaged hands.
Having someone see through his deepest thoughts made him feel strange.
Luther smiled again. "Judging by your reaction, I got everything right. Let's deduce further: why did you appear in Khebury? After OGW's downfall naturally angered the

something-the anti-electromagnetic pulse blueprints initially targeted by them which if obtained would silence them effectively thus pretending drowning only being discovered rescued approaching Joyce originally aiming acquiring those blueprints knowing their danger yet desiring possession nonetheless even considering not handing over upon acquisition."
"But things changed-you couldn't get those blueprints from Joyce yet found yourself attracted instead altering subsequent plans drastically leading kidnapping here straining relations further aware Reuben favored yet confident managing regardless ultimately seeking elimination all ancient families'
influences aiming transforming entrenched local powers dominance."
"You have ideals-ambitions-hoping national democratic progress internally."
"Enough! Stop talking!" Clint suddenly stood up angrily unable hiding fury.
He never expected anyone understanding him including father or Imperial Household Agency yet Luther did causing complex emotions. He scrutinized Luther closely.
Luther wasn't simple-wise sharp seeing through everything precisely.
This explained why Joyce remained devoted despite extreme measures taken unable separating them even slightly witnessing their deep affection during helicopter rescue vividly remembering every detail.
They loved each other without any gaps between them.
"Why stop?" Luther's eyes darkened further."Clint-as another man-I know-you truly care about her am I wrong?"
Rivals weren't limited after all.
