"Which of these is for your son? Golden one?" he asked the Emperor. The Golden one seemed more luxurious. So there was a chance that it was for his real son.
"The answer is for you to decide. At the moment, none of these boxes belong to any of you. I'm giving you the first chance to choose to make it fair to you. But you can't see what's inside them. It can only be your luck and destiny what you receive," the Emperor told Long Chen calmly.
'Interesting. So I get to choose, but it's just a random guess without seeing what's inside. There's no benefit of selecting first since I don't even know what I'm selecting,' Long Chen thought as he stepped closer to the boxes.
He stopped before the golden box first before he gazed at the Emperor, "Can I see touch them?"
"You can," the Emperor nodded, giving Long Chen permission to touch the boxes while wondering if there was even any use to touch the box?
The boxes didn't matter. What mattered was what was inside the box.
