Chapter 1056: Commenting on the Princes (Part Two)

“No wonder Your Majesty has been kind toward the Chambord Kingdom both secretly and publicly. Given the poor strength of Chambord three years ago, its privilege of being an affiliated kingdom should have been stripped away, and it should have been turned into a minor territory. Also, when Alexander was crowned as the official king, Your Majesty even sent the Elder Princess to perform the ceremony. Later, the King of Chambord did many controversial things during the competition between all affiliated kingdoms, and many nobles wrote letters to denounce him. However, Your Majesty resisted all pressure and didn’t scold or punish him. Now looking back, it seems like Your Majesty has been trying your best to favor Chambord without attracting too much attention.”

Many things that Akinfeev couldn’t understand before all became clear to him now.

“Yeah, a few years ago, to compensate the Third Prince, I sent his big sister to his kingdom to meet him. However...” Emperor Yassin said in pity, “However, Dominguez and Arshavin messed with each other so much that they battled during the crown ceremony. I was there in person, but my third son gave me a big surprise. He took care of everything himself, so I didn’t have to show myself.”

“Since the Third Prince restored his genius physique, those small things couldn’t bother him. However, even though the Elder Prince and the Second Prince have been fighting with each other, and they used different methods and created their own groups and alliances, they are still very respectful to Your Majesty. They never did anything that crossed the line. Fights between princes can’t be avoided in any royal family. Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about these things too much.”

The princes and princesses grew up under Akinfeev’s watch. This man was a tough figure in front of other nobles, but he cared for Yassin’s children and treated them as his nephews and nieces. He liked them equally, and he was worried that Emperor Yassin might scold the two princes when mentioning the fights between them. Therefore, he tried to comfort Emperor Yassin and resolve the situation.

Emperor Yassin smiled and looked at this man who was his youngest study buddy and had been aggressive. Perhaps he was in a great mood since he revealed the secret that he held inside his mind for 20 years, Emperor Yassin said jokingly, “Huh? The aggressive blockhead now also knows how to comfort others?”

Akinfeev only lowered his head and snickered.

Emperor Yassin nodded and said, “You are right. They are all respectful toward me, and they can work together when the empire is in danger. They can prioritize the important matters, and I’m pleased. After Jolie passed away and our child went missing, I was struck and blamed myself. I later found our child, and this experience moved me. I have five sons and six daughters. If they fought like this before, I would have severely punished them. However, after that incident, I’m able to see through everything. My relationship with my children is more important, so I wouldn’t interfere unless absolutely necessary. I’m an emperor and a father. I hope they can all understand my effort.”

“I see. This must be the reason why Your Majesty suddenly allowed Fourth Prince His Highness’ request to guard the western gate, right?” Akinfeev could understand the effort of a father.

“That is right. How can I not know that my fourth son is arrogant and not that talented? He made many mistakes, and I’m disappointed in him. However, he is my son after all, and I have to give him an opportunity. I hope that he can use this opportunity and contribute to the empire. After when the Third Prince inherits the throne, they will be able to co-exist,” Emperor Yassin said with a sigh.

Akinfeev nodded and was about to say something, but he suddenly realized what Emperor Yassin had said. He asked in shock, “Your Majesty, you mean... you are going to let the Third Prince inherit the throne?”

“That is right. The Third Prince is the best choice in terms of reputation, strength, virtues, vision, and abilities. Out of my five sons, Elder Son Arshavin is a genius commander but is also narrow-minded, Second Son Dominguez is not of proper background and doesn’t have the influence, Fourth Son Chrystal is reckless and can’t do anything useful, and Fifth Son Torbinski is playful and can’t be trusted with big responsibilities. Only my third son is the most like me, and he is the best candidate to inherit my throne,” Emperor Yassin sounded proud as he said that.
