Comment on ChapterThe Heart of the Lotus - Chapter 39
Ok, at this point things start to make sense ... nobody in that bloddy palace cared for him or showed any kindness except for Sammy boy.
They just kept him there close to make sure he's no risk.

Even the older brother ... if anyone thinks he's showing kindness ... open your eyes and look better. He's just putting my cutie pie (yes, he is, don't care what everyone else says) in a position to dig himself a bigger hole to fall into. And he's an artist about it ... he's got a way not to dirty his hands. Think his shi*** one-eyed brother will forgive him or anything close to "bury the hatchet"?!? Not on your life ... he'll use this to inflict maximum pain. So big bro will fix 2 things ... get rid of his middle brother (constant nuisance and problem maker) and younger brother in one go. Strategic ... evil and wicked but strategic if we look at this coldly ... not like there's any great love between these brothers.

I'm not saying it's ok what he did later in life ... but it's starting to make sense. He's living in a viper pit and he needs to survive at this point. With Sammy married and out of the pallace it's just a matter of time until things go bad ... really bad.
