"Go overseas for experience?" Howard was taken aback when Steve said this, his whole being filled with surprise.
Throughout history, whether it be nobles or aristocrats, they all faced the same dilemma when it came to succession. After designating their favored child as the heir, fathers would begin to harbor suspicions and guard against their own flesh and blood.
Their internal monologue was simple, summed up in one sentence, "I have chosen you to inherit, but you must not be too eager."
At the slightest sign of impatience from their children, they would immediately delve into another internal monologue, "Do you yearn so eagerly for my position, hoping for my demise?"
Howard was no exception. He, too, worried that his eldest son was too eager to take the reins, to the point of harboring lll intentions towards him. Thus, ever since publicly declaring Steve as the heir, he had been extra cautious around him.
