Chapter 1337 - 1337 1337 The Third Stage (13)
Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: The Third Stage (1/3) Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: The Third Stage (1/3) The bet laid down by the Crown Prince was undoubtedly very large.
If he lost, he would have to actively abdicate from the position of Crown Prince.
This bet was so large that it left others extremely suspicious and uncertain.
Without one hundred percent confidence in victory, absolutely no one would propose such a bet!
Yet, even knowing the other party was confident, the third prince and the Crown Prince couldn’t refuse this demand.
For one, knowing that their own numbers and strength far exceeded that of the Crown Prince’s, if they didn’t accept under these circumstances, it might become even more troublesome in the future. After all, the Crown Prince’s power base had not yet taken shape.
Secondly, the emperor himself was here, and if they still refused under these circumstances, knowing their own imperial father, he would definitely not like someone who lacked the spirit and courage of nobility. Even if they won the bet later, the position of Crown Prince would probably be out of their reach.
Compelled by these two reasons, the third prince and the Crown Prince also had no choice but to accept the bet.
Thereupon, the Crown Prince turned to the emperor, bowed with his hands folded and pleaded, “Father Emperor, please approve our wager.”
The emperor did not turn around but merely waved his hand and said, “You decide for yourselves.”
Clearly, he also tacitly consented.
