609 Setting Off

Daneel had to take a step back as he heard everything Eloise said.

Each and every word she said was true.

Who was he?

A King- that too, one who had something as magical as the World Domination System.

What had he depended on to get him this far?

His determination to get what he wanted, even if he had to scheme for it.

That was exactly who he was, so wasn't that exactly how he was supposed to be regarding this matter, too?

At this moment, what he was shocked about most was that this very basic, simple truth had eluded him for so long, and had had to be brought up by someone else in order for him to become aware of it.

When he actually pondered on it for a little bit more, he realised that even though he might have known that this was how it was always supposed to be, the social norms that he had grown up with back on Earth had stopped that thought from coming forward, as he was conditioned to think that this was "wrong" in some way.
