"Father, resources aren't a problem for us-"
"Shut up!" Davis pointed at Lucian and cut him short with a shout.
"…!" Lucian was visibly shaken, and the girl also trembled as she knelt.
"Do you think you can hand over resources from our Treasury just because you became fond of one girl?"
Davis growled in a low voice as he remembered what he said to Ellia back then.
Because his parents placed their hopes on him, he could do whatever he wanted back then as a crown prince.
"That right is reserved for my parents, wives, and children like you but not your spouses. Those who are loyal and talented enough to get us out of an extinction-level mess can also be nurtured heavily. Everyone else needs to work for it. Do you think you can freely hand over our resources to someone else just like that?"
Davis waved his sleeve and pointed his hand at Lucian again, causing him to shake his head quickly.
"No… I… I didn't mean that way."
"Don't lie to me." Davis pressed.
