‘I can’t tell you the details, but His Majesty the Emperor did not love His Highness the Second Prince. They hated and abused him b29f4cdf10 because he was born with 00fcb0e293 the dark attribute. And I thought 9f7ab77b28 that it would 53c9119b63 be much more 2803dab915 advantageous for my faf4f3b068 future to be 983e8d9105 engaged to His e899c35f8c Royal Highness the 7ca6fc8994 Second Prince than 834e399ecc to the Crown 66faf6c024 Prince, who did ec863f2302 not receive any 811b704c1d blessings.
