    "How could I possibly accept not being king?... If I cannot become king, then I choose death."

    This confirms that his wound was never really fixable by love, attention, or even some power. It was never about being loved equally; it was about being first, absolute, unsurpassed.

    Nothing short of the throne would have satisfied him, which is precisely why Yin Shen's warning ("the chasm of desire will not be satisfied just because you give enough") was so accurate, there was no "enough", Ense wanted everything.

    Edit : This is also the first and only time Redlichia had a true conversation with Ense.

    It is a Parent's duty to take responsibility of their children and a King's duty to take responsibility of their subjects.

    I actually prefer if he banished him. Sure we all know whats gonna happen but it'll add so much more to the story and the worlds progression like strategies, war, and inventions etc.

        Well... Yeah. But with the authors skill and unique way of writing he'd be able to make something out of it.

    Well, that was solved a lot more cleanly than I expected. I thought it was going to end up with the kingdom splitting in half due to war, but it looks like MC intervened.

    I’m glad he killed him. I would hate to see him be banished and it would be predictable.
