"Father, monks can still resume a secular life," Francis reminded his father in a low voice. "Besides, like the sun up in the air,
Master Chodak has the love and support of the people. If he resumes a secular life, he could be a formidable enemy. But if he
becomes secular and marries a princess of the Bright Dynasty, he would be a powerful source of support."
The emperor's eyes lit up upon the advice. This idea had also occurred to him before, and he had even encouraged Lilian to get

been unable to get into bed with Chodak to ensnare him into marriage. She wasn't even able to get close to him.

Although the emperor didn't know why Francis was recently able to improve his health, he believed that Francis had only gained one or two more years. "You are not in good health. Don't

with them.
"Your Highness, please stop."
Francis stood still in his tracks, turned around and looked at Andy. "Lord Andy, does Father have some orders for me?"
"His Majesty knows that Your Highness is not feeling well, so he told me to bring you a sedan chair to bear you out of the
