Pardon?

Hurry

At that moment, the Crown Princess came in and saw what had happened, so she ordered everyone to leave, and only the prince and she was left alone. And the prince said...

The cut was deep. Please call a physician for her.

There's no need. This is not your place to worry about her even if her finger is wounded or servered.

She was hurt because of me. I dropped the bowl.

No.

It was her fault. So, you don't need to apologize. You never need to apologize. You are the person who don't need to worry about other people. Think only about yourself. You don't need to care about what others think of you. That's what the "Prince" means. There's no need to show respect to others or feel bad for them. The only people you will show respect to are the King and the Crown Prince. Do you understand that?

But.... why must I do that? That's not how I want to live. It is only fair that I apologize to whoever deserves my apology when I am at fault. No matter what my title may be.

They must know their place. Make them fear you. And don't let them get close to you. This is only way to survive. Do you understand?

However......,I understand.

(Even after her mother left, the prince was left in daze. Eldest Grandson, the Prince! Yeah, now Dami is already death and I become Lee Hwi. I am just pretending to be someone else. Goodbye DAMI....)
