"No political marriages!"
The words were deafening.
The words that the entire Imperial Court dared not speak, he, Lu Mingyuan, dared!
At the North Gate's exit.
The common people watched from the high buildings on both sides, stunned.
This political marriage of the Great Yan Dynasty had left them feeling oppressed and angry.
For their longtime rival, the Great Nether Sacred Country, to demand that Great Yan's future Crown Prince marry into their family was, in itself, a complete disgrace.
But many of the common people knew in their hearts that if the Court made such a choice, it must have had its reasons.
As common folk, there was little they could say. They could gossip a bit, curse a bit, and that would be the end of it. Then, Lu Mingyuan, the new Crown Prince of Great Yan, made a declaration for the nation. His very first point was: no political marriages. This thrilled them beyond measure.
