Yes, the most common name is Nguyen! I heard that people changed their name to Nguyen because they wanted to have the favours of the emperors, right? It seems to me that many of the Vietnamese population say that they have royal blood, because the emperors had many concubines, therefore leading to many people in the population to have royal blood. So, Lake, do you have royal blood??

Yeah, that could be true. I don't know about having royal blood. My parents never told me much about our family history. Not that it matters anyway because Vietnam doesn't have emperors anymore...

So, I was right, then! We will try to look for the grand children of Bao Dai, so that we put them as Emperor again. So, prepare yourself to have a genetic test, Lake...maybe you will soon live in a palace in Vietnam!
