It's Called Cultured

Lin Ke jolts in surprise. Now that Lia mentioned it, he hadn't heard much about the first Prince at all. According to Artum, the main contenders for the throne were the second, third, and fifth princes. Noticeably missing from that list was the eldest Prince of the Taiin Imperial Clan, which by all standards should have been the forerunner for the spot of the throne. Yet, why was he not considered as a choice?

Lia continued with a slight frown. "Mmm, I can't really remember much about the First Prince, his face is just a blur now. However, I think he was pretty big, probably about 10 or 11 years older than me…"

"How old were you at the time?" Lin Ke asks. 

"I was really small then…" Lia says. "Mmm, I think I was probably 8 years old? Maybe a little younger?"

Lin Ke nods as Lia continues to speak.
