The news of the events that took place in the Palace grounds of the Lanthanor Kingdom shook the entirety of the Lanthanor Kingdom.
Never before in its known history had there been someone who could achieve such a power level at such a young age. This was simply heaven-defying talent, making some suspect that he was a hidden disciple of one of the Big Four.
Yet, those who had done extensive research on the background of the King of Lanthanor knew that this was not possible. As they frantically went over the reports concerning the King over and over again, they tried to figure out how he had been able to hide such terrifying talent for so long.
Even more than this reveal, the information that he was injured and that his status was unknown made many turn towards the Kingdom of Lanthanor with ravenous eyes.
Of course, although they still showed a modicum of caution, some had already begun to ready their troops to move on the Kingdom in case another power vacuum appeared.
After all, they knew very well about the effective purging of the nobility by the new King, making it so that there was no clear line of succession.
This meant that the Kingdom of Lanthanor was once again ripe for someone else to take control of.
The only thing that stopped them was the instances in history where Kings and Queens had used such ruses in order to lure in enemy Kingdoms before trapping them and annihilating their forces.
Besides, except the Withering Leaf Sect, almost no other force had any clear information about the man who had actually attacked the King of Lanthanor.
Thus, they could not know that the green flame was actually such a potent attack that there was almost no chance of someone who hadn't even trained their body from surviving a direct penetration.
This was the confidence that made the Withering Leaf Sect Master take the decision to move on the kingdom. Although he hadn't received any official report from the Knight, he trusted the power of the green flame which he had witnessed personally.
Indeed, at this point of time, apart from the Grand Court Mage and the few others who had personally seen the King after the attack, there were only two other individuals outside the Kingdom who were aware of the status of the king.
These were the Eldest Prince of Lanthanor and the Queen of the Kingdom of the Elves.
As those who had sworn oaths to Daneel, they could clearly feel that the ties that bound them still existed, which meant that the King of Lanthanor was at least still alive.
Knowing about this fact, the Withering Leaf Sect master turned to the Eldest Prince after giving the mand.
"Is he still alive?
