We can get a formal meeting time set up, and if it comes to it, I can and will step down if you are deemed to be a better leader than myself.
However, if I find out you treat my clansmen poorly, or have certain intentions with them, understand that I will not go down without a fight. Jaehyuk was my mentor and maker, I won't let his memory be sullied.
[ Thankfully he does know at this point about Jae being actually alive again (thanks, great-uncle), but he won't let that slip just yet. ]
There are better ways to go about that particular goal without causing unnecessary casualties, ways that are already being implemented if you cared enough past being angry that nobody knew of your existence to give you rights to the throne.
[ Translation: Don't fuck up my plans if you don't want to get your dumb ass killed for being reckless and stupid. He's got enough headaches with the Council being assholes and his partner not always being receptive to the more diplomatic approach as it is. ]
The Councils were put forth for a reason. They need to change, yes, I won't deny that and would be the first to acknowledge it. However, creating a massive power vacuum isn't the way to go about it.
You will fail because as I said, you are far from the first to attempt something of this caliber. You don't think that the Council has protections in place for this kind of situation?
[ Granted, he'd be stupid to not think that there's information Kangdae's holding back. He is Jaehyuk's son, after all, and Jae always tried to think five steps ahead of everyone else in order to make his goals possible. ]

Was? That idiot is alive.

Then having him there will be necessary to help facilitate this, if he's somehow alive.
no subject
Ha. Riiiiight.

Never mind that you would only be the latest in a long line of attempted coups that have failed. You're far from the first to try.
no subject
Oh? And who said I'm gonna fail?
