Chapter 664 Break The Head (Part One)
Lucas, who has been sent to coordinate the disaster relief efforts, finally got back to the imperial
capital.
He went straight for reporting to the emperor as soon as he entered the Imperial Pce, but was
stopped by Francis.
"Francis, it''s been a long time. I''m happy to see you in good health. Congrattions!" Even though his
performance wasudable during the disaster relief, Lucas was still frivolous. He said with a casual
smile, "Francis, I met a beautifuldy in Stream County this time. I was so mesmerized by her beauty
that I almost forgot everything and didn''t even want toe back."
"Your help in the disaster relief wasmendable. Father has always been thinking about you. If he
comes to know that you werete because you got mesmerized by a beauty, he''ll teach you a hard
lesson." Francis spoke in a gentle voice and smiled warmly. Lucas always thought Francis was good-
looking. Now when he looked at him carefully, he felt his eyes and brows were as elegant as a
charming woman''s.
"Francis, you''re the most charming one among our brothers. If you were a woman, I would definitely fall
in love with you." Lucas couldn''t help but praise him. "I think you have already received many intriguing
marriage proposals."
Francis nced at Lucas and said, "Everyone knows that I''m in poor health. I might die at any time.
Who would risk her life and desire to remain a widow in my mansion?"
"Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!" Lucas spat symbolically. "Don''t say anything unlucky!"
Francis was amused by his words and said, "Let''s both go together to see Father. He was badly injured
when Felix was rebellious. He hasn''t fully recovered from it and now, he even has a bad temper. You''d
better maintain silence in front of Father, lest you might annoy him and get scolded."
"As if Father never scolds me. All he does while talking with me is scolding." Lucas cast a nce at
Francis from time to time, as if he didn''t bother at all. "Ipletely agree with what Aunt Harper said."
Francis stopped and asked, "Aunt Harper? What did she say to you?"
"She exalts you and really admires you very much." Lucas kept looking at Francis up and down and
said, "I always used to think you were in poor health, and you looked even weaker in white. But now,
you''re the perfect person to wear white clothes."
"You haven''t said what Aunt Harper told about me," Francis reminded him as he was eager to hear
Harper''s words about him.

"A peerless gentleman as beautiful as a jade." Lucas tut-tutted under his breath. "Aunt Harper seldom
speaks highly of someone. Thest time she praised someone was about Master Chodak."
Francis smiled sincerely as his eyes shone. He thought once again about Harper''s words and got even
more joyful. "You naughty boy, be careful. Jason will teach you a lesson once he sees you."
"I''ve heard of Jason''s return, but I haven''t seen him. In the past few years, he has been outside the
imperial capital avoiding shouldering his responsibility as a prince. Now, I''m happy that he finally
returned. I wonder if Father has scolded him badly. He might be too ashamed to even raise his head as
I did." Lucas shook his head. "It''s strange. I''ve been in the pce for quite a while, but why didn''t Lilian
come to see me?"
"Lilian is preparing for her wedding."
"What? Is she ready to marry?" Lucas looked at Francis in shock and said, "Oh my God! Lilian finally
came to her senses. I''m happy that she is no more clinging to that monk Chodak and will get married.
Well, who is that lucky man who persuaded her to change her mind?"
Francis gave a stern look at Lucas and said, "Rndo, the emperor of Great Jade Kingdom."
Lucas went nk for a moment. He then asked, "The emperor of Great Jade Kingdom?
Lilian has agreed for the marriage alliance?"
"Well, she herself asked for this marriage alliance," Francis answered and pretended he didn''t see
Lucas'' shock. "I too was quite surprised when I heard it. You know, our country is suffering from
domestic as well as external trouble and is restless now. Uniting with Great Jade Kingdom is in our
interest. I asked for Father''s advice and then he agreed."
"No way!" Lucas refused without hesitation. Rndo had no love for Lilian. If she married him as part of
an alliance, she would end up as the first victim when the two countries were to have a fight.
Francis cast a sidelong nce at Lucas and asked, "Why not? Lilian hase of age and is the only
unmarried one among the princesses of the royal family. And she herself asked for the marriage
alliance. Why wouldn''t you agree?"
"Rndo won''t be a good husband to her!"
Francisughed and said, "Lucas, Rndo is the new emperor of the Great Jade Kingdom. He is the
head of a country. After Lilian gets married, the worst thing possible for her would be to serve as his
concubine. If she gives birth to a boy, her status will be more stable. Moreover, Emperor Rndo just
ascended the throne, and he has no wife as of now. The Bright Dynasty and Great Jade Kingdom
would advance shoulder to shoulder. After Lilian marries Rndo, she even deserves to be the
empress."
Lucas smiled bitterly. "Do you think Lilian will be an empress with her character?"
"Lucas, I see that as your fault. Lilian is forthright. Emperor Rndo may like her straightforwardness."
After saying that, Francis stopped and found that both of them had already reached the gates of the
Tranquil Hall.
Lucas raised his head and looked at the que of the Tranquil Hall. Even though he was outside the
imperial capital during this period, he was familiar with the state affairs. Now that he had returned, he
was afraid that the situation at the imperial court would be more chaotic.
"Your Highness, you are back."
"Yes, I''m. Lord Andy, how is my father now?" Lucas moved close to Andy and nudged him. "Is he going
to scold me when I''m in?"
"Well, Your Highness, I have no idea. His Majesty always indulges you, and I think he wouldn''t scold
you."
