Chapter 708 Back To Life (Part Two)
"You''re spouting nonsense. It''s as clear as day that Prince Felix harbored resentment and killed thete
emperor. Prince Francis became so furious that he ended up killing Prince Felix."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Lucas asked, feeling quite amused. "When I came back to the
imperial capital and saw my father, the first thing he said was that Francis was trying to kill him, and he
even handed over the testamentary edict he prepared long ago to me. You said that Francis has the
testamentary edict, but I have it in my possession as well. I am wondering which one is fake!"
When Maxwell looked around, he saw that everyone was shocked. Then, he looked at Zack, who didn''t
seem surprised at all, as though he was already aware of it. The little fox was actually in on it, but he
hadn''t told him anything.
Francis got word that there was something wrong, so he rushed to the pce gates, with Jason
following closely behind him. When Francis finally appeared, all the officials who had been whispering
suddenly stopped and looked at him, hoping that he could give them an exnation.
Wearing the emperor''s yellow robe, Francis looked so overbearing and cold. "Who are you? How dare
you pretend to be Prince Lucas and try to rebel on such an important day?"
"Francis, howe you don''t even recognize me? While I was on the way to the Great Jade Kingdom
for the marriage alliance, you sent many people to hunt me down. Why can''t you recognize me? Did
you seriously think that I would be so useless and killed off by the assassins you sent? If I was actually
killed by your men under Uncle Matthew''s protection, it would be a huge p in his face, wouldn''t it?"
Lucas said scornfully.
Hearing this, Francis curled his lips and said, "Lucas, you are still alive and well, but why we got the
news that you were dead and even your body was sent back? Now, your remains have already been
buried."
"If I didn''t fake my death, would you stop the assassination? I used to think that Felix was the cruel one
for killing his own brothers. But, now I know that you are the most heartless among all of us. You killed
our father and eldest brother, harmed our uncle and stole his wife. Francis, do you think you have the
world in the palm of your hands?" Lucas questioned him.
"Father left a testamentary edict saying that I would be the one who should take the throne. Why would
I have to kill him?" Francis quickly answered.
Lucasughed so hard that he was having convulsions. "Are you trying to make meugh, Francis?
Don''t you know that the heir to the throne is especially taught by someone? Moreover, from the day the
heir to the throne was decided, the Regal Guards would only be following his orders. If you are really
the heir chosen by Father, then have you ever met the imperial preceptor? Do you have the Regal
Guards serving under you?"

The civil and military officials all looked at each other, not knowing whom to listen to, Francis or Lucas?
They thought, ''How could the things that already set in stone suddenly change? Prince Lucas was
already pronounced dead and has been buried, but why did hee back to life and say that he only
faked his death? Moreover, he is carrying thete emperor''s testamentary edict and is leading the
Regal Guards. This is probably just a joke, right?''
"Everything you said is just one-sided. The imperial preceptor was something you just made up. As for
the Regal Guards, you must have stolen the token from them and forced them to listen to your orders!
Moreover, I have the testamentary edict left by Father along with the imperial seal. I am the official new
emperor. You are merely a traitor nning to rebel," Francis calmly stated.
"I''m not sure who is a traitor. As for the existence of the imperial preceptor, it''s not yet certain whether I
have only made it up or not. You can go ahead and ask Uncle Allen, Marquis Travis, and Uncle
Matthew." Lucas looked at Allen who was standing in the crowd and asked, "Uncle Allen, you are an
official who has to take care of Father''s heir. Do you know about the imperial preceptor?"
"Of course I know. He''s the one who coaches the future emperor. And he is also specially in charge of
training the secret guards of the emperor as well as the heir to the throne. Lucas, if you are indeed the
heir to the throne, you must have the secret guards of the emperor," Allen replied in a loud voice.
"Of course. Marquis Travis, is what I said true?"
"It''s all true." Originally, Travis didn''t need to go to the imperial court at all, but today, the new emperor
would ascend the throne, so he decided toe. He wasn''t expecting to see such a good y.
Everyone said Francis was kind, but much to their surprise he had tried to kill his father and brothers,
which was utterly against thew!
When Francis heard this, his face froze. He looked at Allen and Travis. These days, the two of them
didn''t really say much. But today, as soon as Lucas showed up, they didn''t hesitate to help him, so they
must have been aware that Lucas was the real heir to the throne as well as thete emperor''s favorite
candidate. In spite of that, they didn''t do anything from the beginning to the end. Their patience was
admirable.
"So Uncle Allen and Marquis Travis have sided with Lucas and be traitors?" Francis ordered in a
hushed voice, "Seize them!"
"What? Prince Francis, your conspiracy has been exposed and you be furious? Are you nning
to kill us as well so you could keep your secret?" Travis had always been a man of courage. No one
else but he dared to provoke Matthew, and he was the only one who had fought with him. Thus, he
would never be afraid of Francis.
"Marquis Travis, you and Uncle Allen have conspired with Lucas and tried to rebel. I am forced to take
you down in ordance with thew." With a wave of his hand, Francis ordered, "Take them away!"
"Francis, you are so domineering." A voice roared in like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone''s ears hurt.
They followed the direction where the sound came from and found two people standing upstairs. They
were, respectively, Matthew and his wife Harper!
