"Essen, I don't understand why Prince had become like this. You know, I had always considered him my most outstanding son." Wilhelm II's voice was full of helplessness.
Wilhelm II undoubtedly doted on Crown Prince Wilhelm, his eldest son, and had always raised him as the Empire's heir. Over the past twenty-odd years, Crown Prince Wilhelm had performed exceptionally well, surpassing all his peers. Among Wilhelm II's many children, he was also the most outstanding. Wilhelm II had placed great hopes on him.
But recently, Crown Prince Wilhelm's behavior had greatly disappointed Wilhelm II. He hoped Crown Prince Wilhelm could be more tolerant toward his younger brothers. As the elder brother, he ought to act like one.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Wilhelm probably could not accept Prince Oskar suddenly becoming so outstanding. After all, he had always been Your Majesty's finest son." Essen von Jonath said expressionlessly.
Of course, since Karl was now the general manager of the German Welfare Lottery Company and could earn enormous profits from it every year, Essen von Jonath naturally leaned toward Oscar. However, he could not show it. Otherwise, Wilhelm II would probably no longer trust him. As Wilhelm II's childhood companion, although Essen von Jonath held no position in the government, he was able to exert enormous influence over Wilhelm II. Thus, his status was also extremely high.
Wilhelm II nodded. "Yes, Essen. Prince's greatest flaw is that he lacks the tolerance to accommodate others, even if that person is his younger brother. Once he believes someone threatens his position as Crown Prince, he will suppress them in every possible way. Previously, when he sneered at and mocked his brothers, I turned a blind eye, all for the harmony of the imperial family. But now, Prince has truly disappointed me too much."
