Foreshadowed his 'idol' is the villain that killed his father? Probably.
Also reason you dig up the roots when you cut weeds down. Of course he couldn't kill him and everyone else that bullies him (cause it's the whole village). So, he should of ignored them.
if the father really was a traitor, the family would have done with him, he was probably assassinated and framed, or hes undercover(though i doubt this since the govt would then keep the family safe)
