Prince Yuan Zhao of Dawei had been nurtured since childhood as the future successor to the Dawei Emperor. Naturally, he was surrounded by highly skilled people; although his power was not equal to that of the Dawei Emperor, it was very close. In recent years, he had become capable of ruling Dawei.
However, the second prince of Dawei, Yuan Chen, was different. Over the years, he had been overshadowed by Yuan Zhao. Since his childhood, he had relied on his mother's family and himself. His mother's family was less influential than Yuan Zhao's family, and so his talent was not as great as Yuan Zhao's. Therefore, fewer talented people were available to him.
