I'm writing a short text about a king who was blinded by his son in spite of his great love for him. I used an expression in the last sentence of my writing: "He was at last blinded by the apple of his eye." Does it make sense? Do you see any literary merit in it?
Thanks in advance Nikoo

Nikoo: It is better without the phrase "at last": He was at last blinded by the apple of his eye.
