Chapter 643 Life Imprisonment

Ethan’s POV:

I immediately looked for Richard worriedly. He was curled into a ball on the floor, sobbing like a child with tears and snot all over his face. I had no idea what Rufus had done to him, but there were no visible signs of injury other than a light nosebleed.

I cleared my throat and signaled at my confidant to give Richard a handkerchief to wipe his bleeding nose.

Rufus looked up at me calmly and explained, “Don’t worry. I didn’t beat him. His nose is bleeding only because he hit the corner of the table when he cowered in fear.”

I coughed awkwardly and looked away, pretending not to care. “Well, I said it was up to you, so I won’t comment.”

Rufus didn’t say anything. Instead, he gestured at his subordinates to take Richard away.

My younger son was completely scared out of his wits. He neither resisted nor argued when Rufus’ men grabbed him. He was like a puppet that had gone limp. When he passed by me, he looked at me blankly, not even calling me father.

Seeing this, my heart ached. It was not that I didn’t want to help him, but that he had made too many unforgivable mistakes. Not daring to look at him any longer, I tore my gaze away from him.

Soon, Rufus’ men took Richard away. I couldn’t help but look at Rufus worriedly. “What are you going to do with him?”

Rufus seemed to be expecting this question. He smiled and said, “Nothing too harsh. Just life imprisonment. He can’t leave his residence without my permission for the rest of his life.”

A shiver ran down my spine. Richard was never willing to be alone. It was crueler to imprison him than to K*ll him on the spot. Years ago, he had refused to go to the military school because he couldn’t stand the idea of following rules all his life.

Plus, Richard was an extrovert. He had enjoyed making friends ever since he was a child, and he always came up with avant-garde ideas. At the time, I frowned upon his whimsicalness. I thought that a prince should act like a prince. Richard wasn’t attending to his proper duties. novelbin

So, I f0rced him to go to military school.

However, when he came back, he had changed completely. Not only did he speak in a bureaucratic tone, but he also learned to act one way to my face and another behind my back.

“Father, do you object?” Rufus asked in a low voice, raising one eyebrow.

I opened my mouth to say something, but in the end, no words came out. Well, this was probably the best for Richard. With him permanently imprisoned, all matters regarding him had now come to an end.

On our way back, I kept glancing at Rufus. I wanted to apologize to him, but I felt too embarrassed.

Rufus didn’t even look at me throughout the whole process. Occasionally, he’d talk about political affairs with my confidant, but he refused to speak directly to me.

I couldn’t help but sigh again. I really was such a loser.

One of my son hated me, while the other was in prison. What kind of father was I? Had I known things would turn out like this, I would’ve tried to have a daughter instead.

On second thought, having a daughter would be troublesome, too. I gave up the idea as soon as I realized that a daughter would get married and leave me when she was old enough.

All I had now was the present. I’d better think of ways to improve my relationship with Rufus.

Before we parted ways, I thought for a while and patted Rufus on the shoulder. “From now on, you will shoulder the responsibility for the werewolf race.”

I had planned to groom Lucy’s unborn child to take the throne, but now it seemed that it was unnecessary. Rufus really was the best candidate to inherit the throne. Rufus didn’t say anything for a long time. Finally, he simply nodded.

I was glad. This gave me the courage to speak out the thought that had lingered in my heart for a long time. “Your marriage has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. After you get married, I will abdicate in advance and p@ssthe position of the lycan king to you.”
