, Chapter 10"I then decided that if she was to continue down this path, she would do so without dragging our family name through the mud, and planned on disowning her. I had formally expelled students from my family's school in the past, and I took no pleasure in it, but recognized that there were times when cutting ties was best, particularly when the people in question had no intention of changing their actions. It was the same for Miho, even if she was my daughter. If she rejected everything our family stood for, there was no place for her in it."

He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said "You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words, how they hurt me
I'll never forget it
And as the time it went by
I lived to regret it
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"But where should I go
And what should I do?"
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"But I came here for help
Oh, I came here for you"
He looked me straight in the eyes

"Ancestors be damned!" the young prince exclaimed, slamming his fist onto the hard stone of the feasting table.
Though he had been flushed with drink before, the ancient ruler's face had been drained by his son's last outburst. To his ears, the words his offspring had spoken were the worst desecration imaginable - disrespect of the ancestors.
"Get out." The words were barely audible, even in the silent hall. "Leave this kingdom never to return. Your name shall be stricken from all records. You are no longer the son of King Kurdan of Karak Azar."
