Aegon didn't consider himself some saint or any righteous person. The world was far more nuanced than that, and he didn't fully understand it. He didn't even know how he would have acted in the Coral King's place, but he was damn sure he wouldn't have chosen this path.
Perhaps he would have been a bad king, but he wouldn't have been this cruel and pathetic. That was another reason why he didn't want the responsibilities of a leader.
Responsibilities and power often drove people mad. He had both of them, but he didn't want to let them affect him too much.
Looking at the pathetic state of the King shouting at his own ministers, he sighed. In no time, the ministers also began to accuse the King and shift the blame.
No one felt sorry for their actions. No, they just wanted to be the victim to justify their cruelty. That was how wars were often fought, after all. Victimhood often helped people justify the worst things, things that shouldn't even be counted as humanity.
"Silence!"
