dankodes running further poetry content during or after NiF, please let me know what you'd be keen to discuss. I'm happy to work with you on that. I'll probably ask this again once NiF draws to a close.)

Chapter 96
- Psychologically, why is Prince Yu so into this power struggle? Why does he need the throne this badly?
Re: Chapter 96
Prince Ji does at one point say that any prince who says he doesn't want the throne would be lying. I don't agree with him. Prince Jing only wants the throne to fix the injustices of the past. If his brother Prince Qi had taken the throne, he'd have been perfectly happy with that.
Prince Yu is said to be the most like his father and we know the Emperor battled for the throne. The Empress, who raised Prince Yu, is very status conscious. She would have instilled a desire for power and rank. And, as her adopted son, he may have thought the throne was his by right from an early age.
