That's a very very outstanding point.
Thank you so much for your insightful description.
You mean it is an ancient revision of pearl harbor or another 911?
If so,
the husband 'sent' his wife away intentionally.
Even he finally won the war,
the final price was still too prohibitive for a rational man, especially for a king with honor.
It is a famous saying,
a nation in war is mad, never rational.
I prefer to believe this rather than the pointed view.
If a man could sacrifice his wife to gain unnecessary fortune,
what's the meaning of life?
