Chapter 647 The Return of Prince Jason (Part Two) (1/1)
”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 gam
smile crept onto his face, as though he truly had no idea what it was all about.
The courtiers looked at one another in silence. Their eyes all lit up at the same time as they realized that apart from Francis and Lucas, the emperor still had another son—Jason. They had completely forgotten about him because he had been away from the imperial capital all year round and out of their sight. Now that Jason had appeared in front of them, they all thought that he would be the best choice out of the three. After all, he was both healthy and virtuous.
”Your Highness, we were just arguing about some trivial things. I guess you won't be leaving the imperial capital again since you're finally back,” a courtier asked hesitantly.
”No, I won't be leaving anytime soon. I won't think about it until Father has fully regained his health,” Jason flatly answered. Cupping one hand with the other to make an obeisance toward the courtiers, he went on and added, ”Well, I'm going to visit Father. Everyone, goodbye.”
”Goodbye, Your Highness.”
