章 66: A deal with the second prince (part-1)

"Second Prince?" Mark's expression changed immediately as soon as he heard it. Mark stared at him with a deep frown. There were complex feelings in his heart.

Everyone within the Empire knew about the relationship between the Imperial children.

The first prince was born to Emperor and the Empress.

The second prince was born to the Emperor and his first Queen consort.

The third prince and fifth princess were born to the Emperor and his second Queen Consort.

The fourth prince was born to the third Queen consort.

The first Queen consort was an orphan with who the Emperor has fallen in love and used to be his favorite consort. But, on the night he turned 15, his mother died in an assassination.

With no one to look after him, he was forced to choose the military way and eventually climbed up the ranks, becoming one of the four generals by the age of 27 and maintaining the position for 5 years now.
