"I can pass the throne to you."
One sentence was enough to bring light into Di Jingchen's eyes. He was glowing with pride, and he couldn't even hide his excitement. Di Zhong could clearly see how this grandson of his was obsessed with the throne. Di Jingchen was so stuck on having the throne that he could no longer see the storm ahead of him.
"Grandfather, thank you. I will be a good king and lead Country B well. I will..."
"Stop." Di Zhong interrupted him as he didn't want to hear the rest.
"I'm not done. I can give you the throne, but once that happens, I will no longer be king. I will not care about what you have to face next. If you are able to lead us to a better place, that will prove your dedication. I will give you my blessing. However, if you can't do so, do not come back crying to me and say that you don't want to be the king. Can you do so?"
"Of course!" Di Jingchen accepted it without any hesitation.
