Court of Judgnt.
"Your Highness! It's really as you predicted. In the past few days, the magic fluctuations of the Psionic Wall have been very unstable. The mages in charge of detection are all extrely surprised. You're amazing! How did you guess it?
Also, what exactly happened with the Psionic Wall?"
Only Lana could speak to the Second Prince in this tone.
Almost everyone knew that Danye doted on this female attendant the most. Now Lana continued asking curiously:
"Your Highness, could it be... those remnants of the old days?"
The Second Prince smiled and didn't directly reply. Instead, he turned his head to look at a board in his room.
This board was covered with intelligence and information about the remnants of the old days that the Second Prince had collected and compiled.
The first clue was Ilinor.
This small country, which was usually inconspicuous, had a big event happen. At that ti, it attracted a lot of attention.

Thugs from Syndicate took advantage of the opportunity when the imperial envoy was visiting for diplomacy and massacred the royal family and nobles of Ilinor who had gathered together. Even the imperial envoy wasn't spared.
It was precisely because of this lead that it led to the Seventh Prince leading troops to attack Syndicate later.
And he was also able to take this opportunity to use the remnants of the old days there to successfully eliminate the Seventh Prince.
So now it seed that it was very likely that the group of thugs in Ilinor back then were the sa people as the remnants of the old days who eliminated the Seventh Prince.
Thinking carefully, perhaps Ilinor was just bait, an advance arrangent by that group of remnants to lure the Crown Prince.
And next, it was his turn.
The Great Sage bestowed upon him a certain ans of contact. With this, he successfully contacted the leader of this group of remnants. The two sides agreed to cooperate. He would provide the other party with an opportunity to create a gap in the Psionic Wall.
Danye's gaze moved to look at a portrait. It was precisely Trite.
Trite bought the position of "Governor" from the black market under his control and was responsible for transporting energy to the Psionic Wall in Stoneheim City. This was the opportunity he created for those remnants of the old days.
Up to this point, everything was within his plan.
But the subsequent developnt of the situation exceeded his control.
Not only did this Governor Trite not die, the transport team also arrived safely in Stoneheim City. It seed like the remnants of the old days stood him up and disappeared without any action at all.
Then in less than a day, before he could investigate, new news ca again. Trite had already completed the handover with his superior "Governor" and was even chosen as a confidant to go to the Upper Senate together?
The next clue was the current magic fluctuations of the Psionic Wall. It seed that there was a problem on the maintenance side.
These were all very puzzling when viewed individually.
But when combined together...
The Second Prince's brows gradually relaxed, and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
So that's how it was...
Danye understood where those "disappeared" remnants of the old days were in these clues.
"It seems I underestimated the ambition of that leader." The Second Prince shook his head as if in lantation.
"Ambition? Your Highness, what do you an?" The female attendant didn't understand.
"I hoped that the leader of the remnant people would just destroy Trite's transport team to cause trouble for the Crown Prince. But now it seems that not only did they not let us down, they actually gave us an even bigger surprise. They are going to directly face the Crown Prince, tsk..."
Directly face the Crown Prince...
Lana was still confused at first, but very quickly, her eyes widened, and she imdiately said: "Your Highness, do you an that group of remnants infiltrated Trite's transport team?"
"Mm, that's why we saw the false appearance of Trite safely arriving in Stoneheim City. And as for why Trite was still able to enter the Upper Senate afterwards, I guess they probably took advantage of the opportunity when Trite was handing over to his superior, killed my brother's Governor, and then replaced him."
"Killed the Governor!? And was able to impersonate him!?" The female attendant was extrely surprised. Following by the Second Prince's side, she was also clear about many inside stories to so extent, so she understood how incredible this was.
The Crown Prince possessed the relic Banner of Command. His followers were all connected to the main body, almost every one of them in an undying state. Even they felt headache-inducing, yet the leader of the remnant accomplished it?
"Not only that, their strength should be even greater than we imagined. From the beginning, they probably never intended to cooperate with and only used my intelligence to get close to the Crown Prince."
"Get close to the Crown Prince, for..." Lana understood halfway through her own words.
She associated the abnormal situation of the Psionic Wall during this period that she reported at the beginning and couldn't help taking a deep breath, even more shocked.
"Could it be that they want to assassinate the Crown Prince?"
"That's why I said that leader's ambition is very big. I underestimated him too much. They probably brought no small trouble to my brother. Otherwise, the Psionic Wall wouldn't fluctuate so intensely."
"Then Your Highness, what should we do now? Does that remnant leader still want to cooperate with us or not?"
"Cooperate? Of course he still wants to cooperate with us, at least he wants to borrow our strength. Otherwise, that leader wouldn't still be bringing Trite along. He's actually hinting at us in this way."
At this point, Danye already had a plan.
He imdiately ordered Lana to gather the most elite warriors of the Court of Judgnt.
In a short while, twelve fully ard Judgnt Knights were already standing by in front of the Second Prince. Each of them had the powerful strength of a 6th-tier warrior.
"Lana, you personally lead the team and imdiately go to the Upper Senate of the Mage Nation. Choose our next move according to the situation of the battle there."
"If in the battle between the Crown Prince and the remnants people, the Crown Prince has the upper hand, then you lead the Judgnt Knights to assist my brother in clearing out these remnants."
"If the remnants have the upper hand, then help them send my brother off properly."
"If both sides are evenly matched, you provide cover from the side and tell the leader of the remnants not to linger in battle. Cover their retreat back to the Court of Judgnt."
"If they both suffer heavy losses..."
The Second Prince's calm eyes showed a few ripples. This option was actually the most unlikely, but if it really happened, it would simply be like a pie falling from the sky, an excellent opportunity for them. He wouldn't let it slip away.
"If that's the case, capture them all in one fell swoop."
"As you command, Your Highness!"
The twelve Judgnt Knights, led by his carefully trained female attendant Lana, were ready to teleport after receiving their orders.
Danye had paid a heavy price this ti.
The Judgnt Knights were actually easy to deal with.
The key was still Lana. This female attendant of his was his childhood sweetheart. Even when he later beca an imperial candidate and was promoted to Second Prince, he never abandoned her and always kept Lana by his side. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was his closest family mber.
Danye had also considered whether this might be a trap, a false appearance jointly created by the Crown Prince and the remnants leader to target him.
So to be safe, he didn't personally take action.
He still stayed in the safest rear.
As for Lana...
The Second Prince wasn't worried about his childhood sweetheart. After all, the Emperor had bestowed upon the few princes one relic each, and the relic that belonged to him... was Lana.
Just like this, Danye spent the night tossing and turning with a bit of nervousness and a bit of anticipation that he hadn't felt in years. He found it difficult to fall asleep until the second day when it started to get light. Only then did he gradually begin to feel sleepy.
As a result, before Danye could sleep for a few minutes, a series of hurried footsteps woke him up.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Lana is back!"
What?
So fast?
The Second Prince was instantly wide awake and sat up from the bed. He was extrely surprised in his heart.
How long had it been? She ca back in just a day?
And before the Second Prince could even get dressed, the next two pieces of news from his subordinates outside the door directly made Danye rush out in his pajamas.
News one, the Crown Prince was confird dead.
News two...
Lana led the Judgnt Knight Corps and captured the murderer who killed the Crown Prince, the thug from Syndicate who was also the biggest wanted criminal in the Mage Nation - the Demon King.
