These men were supposed to kill him, and Tarian accepted that fate if he was weak, but what this old man was trying to do was worse, like what Tarian did to the spear-wielding man.
'How dare he!'
Tarian held the purest blood of the Ascendant, and his Lumina Space could not be violated, not even by his father.
If he were to become the Emperor of his bloodline, then it was important that his Lumina Space was sacrosanct. This old man was going to do worse than killing him; he would strip his dignity.
Tarian stopped trying to fight the darkness; he did not need to. The Royal bloodline would not be insulted.
Most of his life, Tarian always felt he was a man riding a chariot that wanted to go its own way and destroy everything around him. His talent was so powerful and destructive that only supreme control kept everything safe around him.
His mother hated him for the sheer fact that, as a baby, he had nearly killed her scores of times, even though she was an Amber Exile stage Siphon.
