Inside the Council Hall, the Old King surveyed the crowd. The situation had become quite clear: the Third Prince had secretly allied with Iron Hand, Governor Joe Valentine, and others. As for the Kingdom's Army Commander Herschel, he originally supported the Third Prince but had already gone to the border.
The Third Prince was one of the two most promising candidates to become the new king, but the assassination attempt on the Little Princess caused his advantage to completely disappear, leaving the Third Prince disgruntled.
In fact, the Third Prince had a large army at his disposal. If he wanted to rebel, no one could stop him. Yet, the Third Prince had not rebelled, or rather, he was always striving to maintain stability in the Royal Capital. No matter how disadvantaged he was in the power struggle, he would not deploy the troops guarding the Wall of God. He might fail to seize power, but the Wall of God must be held. He knew well what mattered more.
