Prince is gone
I'm not voting this round because really both could be killer rulers,

Not sure if Phillip is such a great ruler...wanting to give up his throne, spending time in the woods....

I feel like Shang can get into a role and is very committed. I don't think prince Phillip is committed as much as Shang. Shang is very respectful and doesn't let his men down. Even when his father dies, he didn't waste time crying, but moved on because he knew that is what was right. He knows when to be serious and when to get down to business. He doesn't wait. Shang would obviously be a great ruler.

Shang would be an amazing rules imo. He'd follow the law, and he'd fully commit to his duties.

Shang is a man that knows the world, or at least his country. He can also see when he's made a mistake and repair it-that's important.
Phillip did well in following his heart and want to get married to the peasant girl (Briar Rose), but it's not a ruler's quality. At least, not an important one.

Same as before

Shang DID lead his men, and he was very deft at it. He was tough and harsh when he needed to be, but he was also kind and compassionate under that. Shang was a selfless ruler who gave everything for his country and the people he led. And he wasn't even the leader of the whole country, just a small battalion.
Someone pointed out last round that Phillip's decision to marry Briar Rose instead of Princess Aurora could have led to strong political tensions- heck, the two kings were about to declare war when Stefan said he wanted time with Aurora.

I agree with rhythmicmagic

Phillip would make a really good ruler, so it was hard to choose but Phillip would also give up his crown and throne for love. So I agree with Popcornfan and rhythmicmagic.

Now I made my vote and I agree with everyone
