The royals in this story are tragic figures. Its a life full of suffering and this king did something for his son that was not done for him. I commend him for that. And now things would be different on their kingdom.
The king saved the prince.

And it looks like his gamble had worked. The prince grew up to inherit his throne.
Abel…you adorable you. You are precious in any shape or form, lol.
