2/2,

Court of Judgment.
"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 extremely 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 time, 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 seemed that it was very likely that the group of thugs in Ilinor back then were the same people as the remnants of the old days who eliminated the Seventh Prince.
Thinking carefully, perhaps Ilinor was just bait, an advance arrangement by that group of remnants to lure the Crown Prince.
And next, it was his turn.
The Great Sage bestowed upon him a certain means 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 development of the situation exceeded his control.
Not only did this Governor Trite not die, the transport team also arrived safely in Stoneheim City. It seemed 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 came 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?
"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 Judgment."
"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 Judgment Knights, led by his carefully trained female attendant Lana, were ready to teleport after receiving their orders.
Danye had paid a heavy price this time.
The Judgment 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 became 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 member.
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 extremely surprised in his heart.
How long had it been? She came 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 confirmed dead.
News two...
Lana led the Judgment 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.
