points made. like caesar literally WON a war and oscar only has a ring, and sure it might hold significance but there is a possibility that it's stolen or taken by force. oscar is just another prince with no achievements and literally came out of nowhere. caesar should still be the crown prince smh.
My exact thoughts.
Regardless of this surprise appearance of "the banished prince" or whatever, Ceasar has completed and accomplished duties mandatory of the crown prince. Duties this surprise prince obviously didn't complete. So regardless of who he is, his claim to the throne is completely dismissible/invalid.
Also, the fact that he's inciting this uproar with the red head family (which was exposed for their corrupt ways, or atleast can be exposed quite easily at this point), he should be imprisoned for inciting chaos at such an important ceremony.
Take the legit ring from him and continue the ceremony. He should be welcomed in the royal family, if that's what he desires... but that's it. Give him some land and move on (〜￣△￣)〜
Ok, they unearth this entire conspiracy and what-not, but it doesn't change the fact that Oscar's pretty much missed his entire reign. I don't see how a two generation old emperor's thoughts should influence the current ruler. Especially since he never officially appointed the yet to be born Oscar. Maybe some people who liked that emperor would want to honour his alleged will (as if 3 maids and a possibly stolen ring prove anything) but it holds no legal ground.
And also maybe consider the fact that a prince is meant to be chosen based on his accomplishments (which include killing the competition in some cases), or at least being the firstborn, so there's no reason to think this is good for the country. If anything it makes the old emperor look corrupt.
