The assassin, being a Redman, was not something that could be released to the public.
If the whole of the Purple Continent knew that the Red Continent had initiated an assassination attempt against Caden Ryder.
There will be a dire commotion in the Purple Continent.
King Arthur chose to wisely keep this information a secret while discreetly informing all members of the Supreme Council.
Not every supreme kingdom ruler was qualified to join the Purple Continent's Supreme Council.
The Supreme Council only had forty members. Each and every one of them was equally trusted.
Possessing overwhelming strength and resolution to protect and preserve the Purple Continent.
King Alex Ryder is a member of the Supreme Council. This was why even though Morningstar Kingdom was ranked 98th before.
It was still treated with respect and higher regard. Its leader was, after all, a member of the Purple Continent's Supreme Council.
Three days later, King Arthur left the Red Crescent Kingdom with an army as his escort.
He also had three Sword Level, Sword Grandmasters as his private bodyguards.
Prince Aeros stayed back to coordinate the Red Crescent Kingdom as the regent. Around this time….
Caden was invited to temporarily live in the Red Crescent Palace, upon receiving the invitation.
Caden immediately accepted. The Red Crescent Palace was more secure than the Inner-Sector.
Seeing that Caden was still in the Inner-Sector. Many successors who were scared were now relaxed.
Only a few thousand successors had exited the Red Crescent Kingdom after the assassination attempt.
The rest stayed to continue their business. The Red Crescent Kingdom also had to compensate the six hundred Kingdoms that had lost their successors in that explosion.

[Location: Crimson Pavilion, Red Crescent Kingdom]
Sumeri sat in her private crimson pavilion once again. With her eyes gently closed, she played her harp.
The beautiful melodies of her harp resounded from hundreds of meters away.
Many servants who were busy with their work had to halt their duties as they listened with blissful smiles on their faces.
While Sumeri was dedicated to her music, Caden was quietly approaching the crimson pavilion.
He'll be spending two weeks in the Red Crescent Palace. He had already informed Prince Aeros of his private bodyguard.
When Alyssa Silversword returned back with Candy. She was also invited to the Red Crescent Palace.
Candy, who was just the personal maid of Caden, was treated as a guest in the Red Crescent Kingdom.
This was the request of Caden.
Alyssa was also ordered to stay close to Candy and protect her at all costs, leaving Caden alone.
The moment he stepped into the crimson pavilion, Sumeri had already detected him.
Long ago, she had created a sensory magic circle within the crimson pavilion. Anyone who steps into her pavilion will be detected.
But even after sensing his presence, Sumeri continued her music. Caden watched with his arms behind his back.
Dressed in a purple royal robe. He wore a gentle smile. Sumeri exhaled softly, "How long do you plan on standing there?" She asked, still playing her harp.
Caden chuckled softly as he rubbed his nose. "As long as the melodious instrument is still playing," He answered calmly.
Upon hearing that, Sumeri's eyes opened, and her eyes flickered as she halted her music. "Then I'll stop playing," She voiced out, slightly tilting her gaze, and she glanced at Caden.
She had expected Caden to be enraged at her actions but Caden showed no hint of anger.
His smile broadened even more "Hehehehe, I've always heard about the beauty of Lady of House Stark"
"This should be the first time we'll be having a conversation. I should introduce myself, my name is Caden Ryder," He spoke.
Sumeri rolled her eyes "Of course I know who you are, I've long heard of your outstanding reputation even before I met you"
"And besides I've seen you twice already. Why should there be any more introduction?" She asked. This is her infamous trait; Sumeri is known for her rude attitude towards others.
Even to her brothers when she's not in the right mood. Caden had long expected this icy attitude; he knew her too well because they had once been in love with each other.
He chuckled as he thought 'I came to check on her to see if my regression had any effects, but it's safe to say she's still the same as my past life'
His visit to the crimson pavilion was simply an experiment. Now that he has confirmed his suspicions, he simply chose to continue the conversation.
Sumeri noticed Caden, who was stroking his unshaven chin, she chuckled, "Is there a need to rub your chin? We can all see you're beardless"
"Ouch," Caden's eyes gleamed. "That actually hurts a lot, let's just say I'm preparing for the future when I'll grow some beards." His white teeth shone, but Sumeri rolled his eyes.
She scoffed, "Why aren't you hanging out with my brothers? They should be in the Battle Arena already," She said.
Caden nodded "I know that already, they invited me to spar with them and I was just hearing there before I heard your beautiful music"
"I should take my leave now…. See ya" Caden waved his hand as he turned to leave.
He left the crimson pavilion, heading towards the direction of the battle arena while Sumeri watched him.
She tilted her head back, staring at the beautiful sky. Her eyes gently closed as she resumed her music.
"Caden Ryder" She muttered silently. Her cheeks reddened, "Why do I feel like I've met him before?"

Meanwhile
[Location: White Jade Castle, Morningstar Kingdom]
After receiving the summoning decree from King Arthur. King Alex left for the Supreme Council.
His two trusted subordinates, Chief Advisor Benjamin Ortega and Imperial General Storey Langston became his regents.
With Chief Advisor Benjamin Ortega having control of the foreign matters and coordinating the White Jade Castle.
Imperial General Storey Langston dealt with the military affairs of the Morningstar Kingdom.
Just like King Alex, Imperial General Storey Langston is also a Sword Level, Sword Great Grandmaster.
While Chief Advisor Benjamin Ortega is a Mana Convergence Stage, Grand Mage.
~~~~
Walking through the empty hallway, Chief Advisor Benjamin Ortega was in deep thought.
Clad in a black robe, his eyebrows furrowed, his fist clenched tightly "Prince Caden still lives and the Red Continent has been exposed to the Supreme Council"
"From the reports I received. The assassin claimed that Prince Caden knew quite a lot about the Red Continent"
"Including the Infinite Blood Formation." Chief Advisor Benjamin's movements came to a halt; he slightly tilted his head, facing the direction of a small window.
He could see the world beyond the Castle, he softly exhaled "The moment he suddenly rose to fame, I knew he would be a threat to our grand plan"
"From the way he glared at me, does he know I'm a spy?" Chief Advisor Benjamin wondered, gently careesed his long purple beard.
His body flickered for a second, his eyes revealing thick murderous intent "In that case, when Prince Caden returns back to Morningstar, I'll make sure he dies"
