"Prince Francis is smart and virtuous, so he is qualified for the position of the crown prince."
"But Prince Francis has been weak all year round. He has to spend more than half a year on the bed every year. With such poor
health, how could he perform the duties as a crown prince well? I don't think he is a good choice." Someone immediately
objected to the proposal. After all, Francis had been weak for so many years and was often seriously ill. If he was to be chosen
as the crown prince, it wouldn't be good for the Bright Dynasty to have a crown prince who might succumb to his illness at any
time.
"Prince Lucas is smart and in good health. Although he is such a ladies' man."
"He enjoys all forms of gambling and likes to go whoring. Aren't you afraid that he might lose the entire Bright Dynasty on the
gambling table?" Someone furiously expressed his disapproval. Lucas' dishonorable deeds were too numerous to be listed
down. When he was only thirteen years old, the emperor gave him a beauty, but he immediately lost her in a gambling game.
When he was fourteen years old, the emperor gave him a mansion as his residence, but he lost the deed of its title in another
gambling game even though he had only been living in it for a couple of days. Fortunately, Matthew had brought the title deed
back to him. When he was fifteen years old, the emperor ordered him to work at the Ministry of Revenue. Later on, he ended up
owing a huge sum of money from gambling and told his creditors to collect the money from the Ministry of Revenue with
evidence of debt, including the debt he owed for going whoring and throwing banquets with his whores.
"Well... But except those mentioned bad habits, Prince Lucas doesn't really have any other one."

"Don't you think he already has too many bad habits?" a courtier blurted out, flying into a fit of rage. "How can such a wicked
prince like him handle the great responsibility? No, I absolutely disagree. He is even worse than Prince Francis. Prince Francis'
health has been seeing some improvement. Who knows? Maybe he would even recover completely very soon."

like everyone now, can't he? Why would you think that he can't recover? He's a much better option than Prince Lucas, who goes whoring every day, without even

the others as they argued as an onlooker. Zack, on the other hand, was a bit laid-back, as he echoed the opinions of both groups of courtiers. Needless to

among the courtiers very seriously, but he felt like watching a play. After all, the new crown prince was going to be determined by
the emperor himself rather than any of the courtiers. Now that the emperor hadn't fully recovered yet, the courtiers' debate would
not be of any use, regardless of how fiercely they tried to argue about it.
"Franklin, do you think there will be any result after their debate?" Allen looked at Franklin and asked, in a way making it seem as
if this was not a serious question at all.
"The heir to the throne concerns the whole country. Not only does the new crown prince have to be healthy, but he also has to be
virtuous. With that in mind, I have no idea if there will be any result," Franklin smiled in a tactful manner. Most of the emperor's

a sudden realization came to Franklin's mind as he remembered that the emperor still had one more grown-up son. Due to his own realization, Franklin's eyes lit up. But just as he was about to say something, a loud voice rang out. "What happened in the Golden Hall today? It's so noisy here. Is it because I haven't been back to the imperial capital for too long a time that I wasn't made aware that the Golden Hall has turned into a vegetable market?" Hearing this, the crowd looked toward the door, where the voice was
