Chapter 97: Royal Family Member (1/2)

”Royal Family members,” Lin Xiao spoke out, yet his tone was filled with mockery. He was already 16 years old this year and for his entire life, he was living as a normal villager. Now, he was told that he was actually a prince?

What kind of joke was that?

Lin Xiao looked at the necklace and recalled what the representatives from those three small sects said before.

'Only those with Royal Family blood would have the chance to obtain the inheritance.'

He had never paid much attention to it before because he was only testing his luck. When he truly got the inheritance, he had completely forgotten about this one matter. But now that Lin Yun gave him a necklace that was actually his before he entered Lin Yun's family, he felt that everything was a joke.

He was a prince, yet he was living a live not worse than beggar.

Other princes were living a life filled with luxury because of their high status yet he didn't even know who his parents were and also the fact that he was actually a Royal Family descendant.

How ironic.

”Lin Xiao?” Wang Jun asked cautiously.

Lin Xiao sighed and shook his head. What Royal Family? He didn't care about them at all. In his eyes, his only family member was only his younger brother, Lin Yun, and also his foster parents who had died faster in this place.

He would never be able to see those Royal Family members as his family.

”How many princes is in kingdom?” Lin Xiao asked.

Wang Jun calculated silently. ”There are 87 including you.”

87?

Lin Xiao was taken aback. His eyes showed incredulous light, thinking just how many women did his father had to produce so many offspring.

Seeing Lin Xiao's look, Wang Jun quickly elaborated, ”Princes are not only those who are direct descendant from the previous king but also his siblings, cousins, and even other relatives. Everyone who have the blood of the first emperor would have the status as prince of Sun Kingdom.”

”Oh.”

Now that made sense.

Sun Kingdom had come into existences for centuries. It would be weirder instead if there were not many offspring. However, Lin Xiao also knew that there could only be one Emperor, so the one who inherited the throne had to be powerful enough because he would be facing so many opponents who might want to take the throne that belonged to him.

”Emperor chosen by the Heaven?”

Wang Jun's face flushed red. ”Except for the Second Emperor… there hasn't been anyone in Sun Kingdom who's the Emperor chosen by the Heaven.”

They were all only following the route of the strongest and most formidable would inherit the throne. Those who couldn't fight would either be killed or have to become the servant of the one who inherited the throne.
