"That's right. The imperial palace is in complete chaos right now."
Prince Dorek was the one who answered.
After all, he had only recently survived an assassination attempt ordered by another prince.
Dorek continued calmly,
"Prince Kane believes that he has the support of a great power behind him. More than half of the princes have already fallen victim to his schemes."
"Yet even that isn't enough for him. He has gone completely mad and continues eliminating 'unnecessary' princes like me."
"The Imperial City has become the most dangerous place in the world for us."
"Several of my brothers whom I knew personally have already died at his hands."
"That is why Chief Steward Foster and I planned to secretly flee the imperial palace late at night."
"If I continue staying here, who knows when another group of assassins might suddenly break in and kill me?"
So that was what had happened.
After hearing the full explanation, Daniel finally understood the entire sequence of events.
