He had never expected the Second Prince to say something like that. The Second Prince himself had never imagined he would end up like this. He had brought it all upon himself.
"Please, Lord Uchiha Hikaru, I'm begging you, let me go. I'm really suffering now. Once I get out, I'll never fight my brother for anything again." He was practically about to kneel, his hands clasped as tears streamed down his face.
"Second Prince, you're honestly killing me. I never expected you to be such a spineless person." Uchiha Hikaru slowly said this.
Thinking it over carefully, keeping him locked up here was not really a solution. Others did not know what was going on, and if word got out, it would not reflect well on them.
Uchiha Hikaru leaned close to the First Prince's ear and told him something. After some thought, he decided to release the Second Prince.
"Alright, then I'll return half of your freedom to you." The First Prince spoke to the guards beside him and slowly prepared to let him out.
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, First Prince. From now on, I'll never get in your way again." No one knew whether he was telling the truth, but his will to survive was clearly strong.
Uchiha Hikaru then reminded him that although they were letting him out now, they were only returning half of his freedom. The other half was still firmly in their hands.
"What does that mean? What do you mean, you're returning half my freedom? I don't think I understand at all." The Second Prince seemed completely bewildered.
People had said that he could sometimes put on his strongest front, but things often did not go as he wished, leaving him with no choice but to wait quietly at the side.
