Chapter 162:

Claire chuckled coldly. "How old is the current emperor? His health?" These people had never read Chinese history, how could they possibly understand the intentions of emperors? If an emperor like Li Yuan* existed in this continent before, then they would be able to understand the mindset of the current Amparkland emperor.

*Li Yuan (566-635), first Tang emperor Gaozu, reigned 618-626

"The emperor is not yet fifty and in good health," Xi Shaoqi answered, even though he was confused why Claire asked.

If you normally ate three delicious meals a day, and then one day you were only given a meal a day, leftovers, would you be willing?" A derisive smile appeared on Claire's lips.

"Nonsense, only a fool would be willing." Xi Shaoqi immediately retorted.

"Then do you think the emperor is a fool?" Claire replied calmly.

Everyone else in the room froze.

Xi Shaosi immediately understood. "The current emperor currently has control over everything. Everyone carefully treads around him."

"If he abdicated the throne, he would barely have any power, the leftovers." Philips was shocked, shocked at the farsighted emperor, shocked by the frightening perception of the girl before him.

"But isn't the emperor afraid Lagark might take the opportunity to attack while the princes fight for the throne?" Philips frowned He didn't dare to look down on this girl before him any more. Before, he only believed she had made a contract with the G.o.d of Darkness by chance to become the Divine Princess of Darkness, but now, he could tell this girl was no ordinary person. She actually had such deep perception.

"The two princes' fight for the throne will not affect the true strength of Amparkland. The Tempest Warriors and Griffin Squad only protect the royal family. The real strength of Amparkland has not changed, the army. Of course, Lagark is also aware of this," Claire explained.

"What if both princes die?" Xi Shaoqi frowned.

"Your intelligence quotient disappoints me."

Xi Shaoqi paused, then curled his lip. Although he did not know what "intelligence quotient" meant, even a fool would know she was not complimenting him.

"Sigh" Xi Shaosi appeared exasperated.

"The emperor is still in good health. Having a few more heirs is no problem." Philips gave Xi Shaoqi a meaningful look.

Xi Shaoqi's lip twisted, his face turning a bit green.

"Divine Princess, most importantly, the fools of the Temple of Light will definitely find a way to establish your mother as a criminal." Philips stroked his double chin. "They will probably create false witnesses to testify your mother was in full control of the drinks. With so many people present and a high enough price, someone is bound to jump out and make up the 'truth'."

"Grandfather is already aware." Claire was not worried about this at all.

"The Temple of Light is far more dirty than yu think, Divine Princess. It is better to stay on the safe side. Your mother's trial will be soon." Philips was well aware of the true face of the Temple of Light.
