The news of the Crown Prince's announcement quickly spread throughout the realm, but it did not cause much of a stir.
For the common folk, both Eryue and Ali were unfamiliar. Both were youngsters, indistinguishable in their eyes.
Thus, it could only be decided by age.
Eryue is a bit older, so it's only natural for him to become the Crown Prince.
So it goes.
As long as it doesn't affect their current good days, who becomes the Crown Prince is of little consequence.
Moreover, Your Majesty is not yet thirty years old, so who knows when the Crown Prince will ascend the throne.
Why worry about it now!
What should have been an earth-shattering event became quiet due to various factors.
After becoming the Crown Prince, the palace maids addressed Eryue as His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince.
Eryue's demeanor became more composed, his joys and sorrows less visible than before.
Despite being only five years old, he already had a hint of imperial bearing.
