Chapter 1887: Chapter 185: Is Coming Out

Since the late emperor passed away, everyone had been acutely aware that their future, and the lives they would lead, largely depended on how their own Prince Wang would navigate the unfolding developments. Therefore, not a single person in Kingston House was indifferent to this matter.

Everyone had made some judgments about their own Prince Wang, and those who believed that his chances of succeeding were nil had pinned their hopes on whichever son of the emperor their Prince Wang had aligned with. They all wanted to see whether they had chosen the right side.

Among this, some analyses had been made about the situation of the Prince Wangs, acknowledging that some had slim chances.

One such analysis involved Prince Harvey. Though he had made quite a stir recently, people thought that his foundation was far too weak, and without any outstandingly strong subordinates, his chances of surviving the ordeal seemed slim.

"Mr. Collins, do you think Prince Harvey will make it out alive?" A minister under Prince Edward said with a smile, his tone laced with a hint of teasing.

Hearing his question, several ministers turned their gazes toward Sam Collins.

One minister laughed and said, "Although Prince Harvey possesses formidable formations and Energy Bombs, I’ve heard that the other princes have made specific preparations against them. Those things probably won’t be of much use anymore."

Sam Collins snorted but said nothing. Of course, he understood these people’s implications, but he had no means at his disposal and could only wait.

To tell the truth, though Sam Collins had noticed some changes in Prince Harvey, deep down, he wasn’t too optimistic about his chances.

When he thought of his daughter, who the Emperor had decreed would marry Prince Harvey, it filled him with gloom. His daughter was known for her talents and beauty throughout Kingston, and she could have married a better prince. Yet fate had played its hand, and she was now Prince Harvey’s wife. He had no choice but to stand with Prince Harvey.

But could Prince Harvey really make it out alive?

While Sam Collins pondered the situation, the minister from Prince Edward’s camp spoke up again, "The outcome is uncertain, and even if Prince Harvey does survive, it’s not assured. But if he doesn’t, I’ve heard Prince Edward say he has taken a liking to your daughter. Perhaps she will become his wife, and then we’ll serve under the same roof, heh."

This made Sam Collins angry, and he replied sternly, "That’s well said. Perhaps we will serve under the same roof, and by then Prince Harvey will have treated you well."

"If the Sects get involved, neither Prince Edward nor Prince Harvey have much of a chance. There’s no need for you to argue."

A subordinate from Prince Samuel’s Manor gave a slight smile as he looked at the two men.

It was then that everyone remembered the meddling of the Sects, and their expressions changed.

The subordinate from Prince Samuel’s Manor said, "Just so you know, Prince Samuel has long been one of the Sect’s People in secret and his cultivation does not stand below the Ten-Star Realm but has reached a very high Star Rank. Those who oppose him don’t end up well. You’ll see, once he returns, he will surely seize the throne. You all should worry about your own outcomes."

Continuing, he looked at Sam Collins and said, "Prince Samuel has taken a liking to your daughter as well. If not for the Emperor’s decree, he would have taken her as his own by now. Perhaps your daughter will return to Prince Samuel."

What!

The news stunned everyone; they hadn’t anticipated that Prince Samuel had already joined the Sects. With this development in play, they really didn’t know what might happen.

By now, Sam Collins was extremely distressed. Everyone coveted his daughter and even spoke such words before him, showing outright disregard for Prince Harvey.

What should I do?

Sam Collins knew it was time for him to consider the consequences.

The thought even occurred to him that perhaps it would be better for his daughter to end up with Prince Samuel.

As Sam Collins was deep in thought, suddenly a stronger light appeared at the exit.

"He’s coming out!"

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone’s gaze fixated on the spot.

As they watched, a figure clad in the attire of a prince emerged from the light with a swift motion.

Everyone stared at the person, their faces registering surprise.

"Prince Elijah!"

It was, unexpectedly, Prince Elijah.

No one had thought he would be the first to emerge.

"It’s our Prince from the Kingston House!"

The people from Prince Elijah’s Mansion came alive in excitement, rushing to greet him.

Seeing such a scene, others’ complexions changed.

It was beyond everyone’s expectations that Prince Elijah would be the first one out.

At that moment, Prince Elijah’s expression was extremely complicated. Although he was now aligned with a Sect, he was merely a Chore Disciple of the Heavenly Domain Faction, far inferior to the official disciples. He knew he was miles away from the throne.

In the midst of immense disappointment, Elijah Winchester glanced at those waiting and, without a word, turned and boarded his Beast-drawn Carriage, heading back to his Mansion.

What’s going on?

As everyone observed Prince Elijah’s behavior, they were perplexed. Logically, the first person out should be basking in glory and have a few words to say. Why did he leave just like that?

People had thought Prince Elijah was the victor, but now they were unsure what to make of the situation.

Another flash of light, and another figure appeared at the spot.

"Prince Benjamin!"

This time, everyone was truly taken aback. None of the people coming out were whom they had favored. How could it be that Benjamin Winchester had come out?

Unexpectedly, Benjamin Winchester’s demeanor was completely different from Elijah Winchester’s. He scanned the surroundings and, with a smile tugging at his lips, said, "Very good. Many princes have perished in this competition. Only seven remain now, and each of us has joined a Sect. The recently emerged Elijah Winchester is a mere Chore Disciple of the Heavenly Domain Gate, while I have become an official disciple of the Heavenly Domain Faction. I shall represent the Heavenly Domain Faction!"

Heavenly Domain Faction!

Of course, everyone had heard of this powerful Sect from faraway lands, but how had the princes become disciples of the Heavenly Domain Faction?

Nobody could understand the turn of events. Those who knew their Prince Wang was not associated with a Sect turned pale.

The people from Prince Harvey’s Mansion were even more distraught, remembering that Prince Harvey had no connections to any Sects. Their hearts were in turmoil.

"Daughter!"

Sam Collins looked at his daughter, who was now stepping out of the palanquin, and sighed at her delicate beauty.
