"My soul is breaking, and my life has been cut short," he said flatly. It's fine if his family was aware of this. "I'm not going to cause any more trouble, and I'm not going to ask for anything... please... let me leave this place." Nobody cared about him in the first place. He was weak. Nobody gave a damn about him as a person. Nobody cared what he thought. Nobody cared about him until he took the reins and went to war.
