Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 714

Watching his uncle and aunt leave hand in hand, Lucas felt many feelings welling up in his heart. He had always known that his uncle was not interested in the throne. Even though he had persuaded his father countless times, his father still didn't want to listen to him. Moreover, his father sent people to attack his uncle. It was lucky that his uncle survived. Otherwise, the whole Bright Dynasty would have been in danger.

The moment Lucas appeared in the Tranquil Hall, everyone understood that Matthew had forgone the throne, and that Lucas would soon become the new emperor.

"Your Highness, our empire can't survive without an emperor. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible," Zack proposed as he stepped out first. Yet, the rest of the courtiers hesitated. For a moment, they didn't know if they should agree or not. Although Zack was young, he represented the interest of the Bu Clan. Since the Bu Clan had already backed up Lucas, they found no reason to object.

"Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible," Allen too proposed, stepping out.

"Please ascend the throne, Your Highness." More and more courtiers stood out and expressed their support to Lucas. Lucas had thought that it would take some time to convince the courtiers to support him, but only to find that Zack had helped him to ease out of his worries. No wonder Harper had praised Zack a lot. He was really good at reading people's mind and handling things perfectly. Nobody would hate a man like him.

"Is the imperial astronomer here?"

"Your Highness, I'm here."

"Tell me when the auspicious time is," Lucas asked slowly. He was never hypocritical or sentimental. The throne was what he cherished for. Now that everyone had supported him, he wanted to be a good emperor, and meet the expectations of his father and uncle.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time will be three days later."

"Ministry of Rites, I want to know if everything would be ready for the enthronement. There is too little time," Lucas asked.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped out and replied at once, "Your Highness, please be rest assured. The Ministry of Rites has already been preparing for the new emperor's enthronement. We can get everything ready by then."

"Good. Then, I will ascend the throne three days later. Deliver the news to the people of our empire and also inform other countries," Lucas declared loudly. "I know that I am not as talented as my uncle. Neither do I possess exceptional military commanding skills like him. But, I would like to assure you all that I will try my best to be a good emperor. I hope all of you will work with me and lead our Bright Dynasty to the peak of prosperity."

"Yes, Your Highness. We assure you of our complete support in our lifetime!"
