Forensic Imperial Concubine

"Father, monks can still resume a secular life," Francis reminded his father in a low voice. "Besides, like the sun up in the air, Master Chodak has the love and support of the people. If he resumes a secular life, he could be a formidable enemy. But if he becomes secular and marries a princess of the Bright Dynasty, he would be a powerful source of support."
