Chapter 114 - Fit of Fury (2/2)

Why is it that his mother is a criminal and yet he is sent to the Empress to continue to live a pampered life, while he was sent here to suffer. What crime did he need to be punished for?

After his mother's death his father never cared for him, yet when Jun Kai was ill after leaving the cold palace, his father had him nursed back to health in his palace. Who knows he may even have let him continue living there if Jun Kai had not left on his own. Yet, he had never even been to his father's palace before.

Life was unfair.

He remembered the scene where he and his mother walked away bruised all over, while people crowded Jun Kai because of a single wound and he came to a realization that he meant nothing, while Jun Kai apparently meant everything.

Jun Kai was the genius while he was useless. He had only ever gotten criticized by his father, never praised while Jun Kai always got praised. Even while Jun Kai did not need or care for it, he still got it, while he would do anything to get that approval. He tried his best but was only ever met with nothing but criticisms. It was not that he was stupid or useless, he was just never given the same opportunity to excel.

Jun Shan sat there drowning in his tears and being suffocated by the overwhelming sense of pain he felt...pain that was quickly turning to rage. Rage at everything, his mother's death, his father, Zhong Ji, Zhong Hua, at how unfair life was, ...Jun Kai.

{...Why do I have to live like a prisoner while he gets to pick a playmate?... It's unfair. He's unfair!...}

{...*Hmm...}

Jun Shan blinked and looked around the room, he was alone. He sniffed and wiped his face with his sleeves.

{...I am not useless...}

{...*You seem to have a surprising capacity for rage...It turns out you are actually not as boring as I thought hehe~...}

Jun Shan became a bit panicked and wanted to run out of the room but his back hurt as soon as he moved and he bent over in pain.

{...*Relax, I'm...your friend? Yeah, that works! A friend! A useful one too!...}

{...Friend? What is this?...}

Jun Shan inquired still glancing around the room, but he was truly alone.

{...*Yep! I will say though that your rage here is a bit misplaced...That little prince holds no fault here. Frankly, he deserves a lot of pity too. His life has is not easy either..}

Jun Shan scowled.

{...It does not concern you!...}

{...*Hehe~ forget that. I see your situation here is quite pitiful too, so I'll be your Shifu! I'm very bored anyway and I'm very wise too! You're in good hands! ^_^)...}

Prince Yi opened his eyes and glanced around the room. He saw the Imperial doctor dozing off on the side and then sat up, holding his head and then frowned when he felt his cheeks were wet. He removed his hand and stared at the tears on it and his frown deepened.

{...Even you have abandoned me too now...}
