When my father was arrested for treason, my childhood friends said,

“Would it be okay if we kept our distance in front of other people for a while?”

I understood. There was no reason for them to suffer simply because they were close to me.

At some point, they stopped even replying to my messages.

I poured all the time I used to spend with them into training.

Before I knew it, I had become the strongest person in the Empire.
