- Jahad had sons and gave them the rings while knowing that they were his weak point First, this is really no different from having daughters and giving them 13MS while knowing that they are his weak point.

Second, we don't really know "why" the Princes were hunted down, and the whole "they were a threat" is a bit suspicious. To begin with, since we know there was more than one Prince--and each even received one of those rings--it's clear that Zahard originally wanted them to have a certain role; maybe that role was no different from that of Princesses.

For all we know, it's possible that Zahard scrapped the idea of Princes because they were a disgrace, not because they were a threat. Maybe this applied to all of them, maybe only to some of them, but would Zahard's boost be so coveted, and universally viewed as a symbol of power, if people knew it can produce individuals like Wangnan? He may be difficult to kill--maybe even immortal (jury's is still out on that one)--but he's a weakling otherwise; if it weren't for the OP bombs he got to fight against Cassano, it's likely that he could no longer participate in any confrontation.

If you think about it, even if it turns out that every single Zahard Prince has / had some form of immortality, and some of them even got a decent power boost, would they really be a threat to Zahard? He cannot be killed by anyone but Irregular, and Princes are apparently no exception (see Karaka's obsession with Baam); vast majority of Princesses are loyal and some of them fiercely so--which suggests it should be no different for Princes--, and an occasional problem child can be sealed away regardless of their immortality; so where exactly is the threat to Zahard?
