The Reason

Derrick stared at all the ministers silently.

There was a small smirk on his lips as he had finally confirmed something. In the past few years, Derrick had always wondered why the ministers in his Royal Court were so repulsive towards Regan ascending the throne.

A few days ago, he finally had a guess and now he had confirmed it today.

He had been surprised to see how some ministers could agree even with Richard ascending the throne but they wouldn't agree with Regan who had shown his capabilities of protecting the Empire by fighting on the battlefield.

He had finally found out the reason.

It was simply because Regan would not let any girl approach himself. The selfish ministers wished that the prince ascending the throne should be the one who would be married to their daughter…so that they could gain indirect control over the throne.
