who would interrupt?

everyone looked over and realized that it was the second prince, whom they had not seen for a long time.

the sloppy second prince had disheveled hair and was drunk. he held a bottle of wine in one hand and a walking stick in the other as he walked in unsteadily.

the people nearby covered their noses in disgust and hid to the side.

everyone had different expressions when they saw the second prince.

“why did you come out like this?” the queen asked unhappily.

“heh, what’s wrong with me?” the second prince’s footsteps faltered, and he stopped after a pause. “don’t think that i don’t know that you think i’m a disgrace to the royal family and don’t want me to appear. 1 – will – definitely come out”

everyone present had different looks in their eyes.

“he actually drank so much to attend the first prince’s wedding. the second prince is too ridiculous!”

“how is this like the royal family?”

“the second prince’s leg hasn’t recovered yet? is he really crippled?”

“your foot hasn’t recovered yet,” princess helius said, seeming worried. “you should go back and have a good rest.”

“stop pretending! my leg is already crippled. what does it have to do with you whether 1 drink or not?” although the second prince was drunk, he was still somewhat sober. he said to helius, “you should be very happy, right?”

“i’m crippled and can’t inherit the throne.”

“the eldest married a lowly woman, so he can’t inherit the throne.”

“helius, do you dare to say that all of this has nothing to do with you?”

everyone knew about the throne, but no one had said it out loud like the second prince.

they did not expect the second prince to be so head-on.

princess helius smiled indifferently. “your leg was crippled by ryan.”

“you were the one who insisted on marrying ryan’s princess.”

“what does all of this have to do with me?”

it sounded reasonable.

however, the person who benefited in the end was helius, which made everyone suspicious.

was that really the case?

the second prince looked at ryan and asked, “ryan, are you going to watch her inherit the throne that originally belonged to you?”

ryan stood straight, his eyes dark and gloomy.

“ryan is getting married to the person he likes. why would he need you to say anything?”

“the princess consort and i are in love, so we naturally don’t need outsiders to say anything.” ryan chuckled. “however, the royal family doesn’t have a rule that if you marry a foreign woman, you will lose the right to inherit the throne.”

as soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.

due to historical disputes, the royal family forbade intermarriage with other races and even some religions.

in history, there had been cases where the heir to the throne wanted to marry an outsider, but they were strongly opposed.

for love, the heir would give up the throne voluntarily and live with his lover.

thus, this unspoken rule continued to this day.

everyone tacitly agreed that the royal family could only marry nobles and upper-class people. if they married outsiders, they would be giving up the right to inherit the throne.

however, there was no rule that said that marrying an outsider would cause one to lose the right to inherit the throne.

“you mean to say that you want to marry this lowly woman and not give up the throne?” helius’ face instantly turned cold.

shi xi could not help but say, “if you guys quarrel, then so be it. don’t always drag me into it. it’s already the 21st century, what is there to distinguish between noble and lowly?”

the others’ gazes landed on shi xi.

was this the time to talk about honor?!

can’t you see that the first prince and the princess are about to fight over the throne?

shi xi sensed the subtle atmosphere and took half a step back. “you guys continue..”
