Minister Kenny had been appointed by the Walsh Dukedom within the Royal Court of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

He was also a member of the Second Prince's Faction. The second prince managed weapons and armors for the guards in the capital.

He had a good influence in the capital as well. However, because the Crown Prince's faction also dealt in the armors and weapons. The difference between their task was that the Crown Prince's faction was to supply these armors and weapons to the soldiers and warriors fighting on the battlefield.

Since the Crown Prince supplied weapons directly to the army fighting on the battlefield, he held a greater priority than the second prince regarding the number of weapons and the quality of those weapons.

For this reason, the second prince's popularity was suppressed in the capital.

The second prince was the one who hated the crown prince the most.

Currently, the second prince had organized a meeting with all his ministers. He was very anxious at this moment.

The reason for his anxiety was easy to guess. The death of his brother Bernado.

The second prince and the third prince had collaborated many times and could be considered allies against the growing prestige of the crown prince.

However, one of his main allies had just died. This indicated to the second prince that Bernado's death might have been arranged by the crown prince.

All his ministers gathered up in the Hall within the second prince's Palace. The second prince was seated on the central throne while the ministers took their own seats.

The second prince soon spoke out, "These past few days, I have been rather distraught because of Bernado's death. I never imagined he would die like this. Strangely, no one has any clue about the assailants." The second prince spoke solemnly.

His ministers nodded their heads. One of them immediately spoke out, "It must be someone very influential who has deep networks in the capital. The two associations and the unions might be involved in this matter as well."

Before the other ministers could agree, the second prince raised his voice and spoke, "No! They don't have the ability to kill Bernado."

The ministers were startled to hear the second prince's words. They looked at him and saw that he wanted to add something, "You are underestimating Bernado too much. Do you think he didn't keep an eye on these associations and the merchant union?"

"He seems like a lustful fool, but he is very cautious when it comes to his own life. Do you know, there are almost thirteen or fourteen 5 Star Warriors around him, protecting his life. Not even the Merchant Union can move so many 5 Star Warriors without raising the alarm," The second prince was quite serious as he clenched his fists somewhat angrily.

A minister wondered with a puzzled expression, "Then who killed the Third Prince?"

The entire hall remained quiet for a couple of seconds.

Minister Kenny opened his mouth and answered that question, "Who else could it be but the Crown Prince?"

The entire hall had a pin-drop silence. In reality, even one had come to this conclusion, but how could these words be spoken here?

The consequences of uttering such words were too dire. No one of them dared to even consider them.

However, Minister Kenny was from the Walsh Dukedom. He had been ordered to point the blame at the Crown Prince by Siluca.

Minister Kenny didn't know why Siluca was adamant about going against the Crown Prince, but he had to follow her orders.

Thus, Minister Kenny added ahead, "Trying to remain oblivious to it won't do us any good. Let's accept this fact that the Crown Prince has begun to make his move against his enemies."

At this moment, another minister spoke up, "…Impossible! It's well known that the crown prince has no desire to take action against his Highness or other Royal Princes."

In reality, those words somewhat irked the second prince. It made him feel as if his eldest brother didn't even view him as an opponent.

The second prince couldn't help but feel greatly inferior to the crown prince every time the two met.

Minister Kenny immediately countered the statement from his fellow minister by responding with a sneer, "It is this very thought in your head that allows him to make his move without having anyone to investigate his faction. Even if it wasn't the crown prince who acted… Can you guarantee that the crown prince's faction played no role in this?"

Those sharp words immediately silenced the other minister. Indeed, he couldn't say this. They all lacked crucial information regarding the crown prince's faction.

"The Crown Prince's faction is already on the move. If we don't do something, it might be the second prince's turn to be buried under the ground," Minister Kenny finally stopped speaking after stating that last line.

The Second Prince immediately glared at Minister Kenny and threatened, "Keep a leash over your mouth, Minister!"

Minister Kenny responded with an emotionless look, "Yes, Your Highness."

Other ministers found Minister Kenny rather strange. He was a lot more active in today's discussion.

Why was he so actively going against the Crown Prince?

"I will ignore those words earlier, but you need to prove your worth. Speak, what solution you have for me?" The second prince added after a few seconds of silence.

"…If we try to combat against the crown prince, we will be destroyed without a doubt!" Minister Kenny stated a very common fact.

But he wasn't done. He continued ahead, "But what if we make the crown prince's faction clash against someone even greater?"

Instantly, many of the ministers understood what he meant.

The only faction that could be considered greater than the Crown Prince within the Sinyalian Kingdom was none other than the King!

"…My father won't take action against my eldest brother. He is his heir apparent!" The second prince yelled out angrily.

"What if he finds that the Crown Prince David killed the Third Prince Bernado to grab hold of his trade routes and the raw materials of the array? Using those raw materials, he planned to pull the array association into his faction." Minister Kenny explained rather calmly.

"…Did this really happen?" One of the ministers seated on the opposite side asked curiously.

"…Perhaps it did. My information network isn't strong enough to verify this information. However, I do know that this information is enough to make the king be suspicious of the Crown Prince and slowly take the powers assigned to the Crown Prince."

"If the King begins to take action against the Crown Prince, taking away his powers would just be a single method. The best method would be to enhance his opponents so that the Crown Prince or his faction can't kill them. Who do you think is in the prime position to receive the King's favor?" Minister Kenny ended his speech with a question.

The question from Minister Kenny answered most of the doubts in these people's minds.

"…What an eloquent tongue you have, Minister Kenny. Because of how silent you have been in the last few meetings, some of us had forgotten the sway you hold over us by using those clever words," One of the ministers stood up and spoke while looking straight into Minister Kenny's eyes.

"…I already said all I had to say. It's now His Highness's decision. He can consider my suggestion as a mere fool's jabbering, or he can act on it. If His Highness wishes to act on it, then I suggest being quick. Another week and the Crown Prince would be back to Mesenana City. Our actions would be greatly limited during that period." Minister Kenny made one last attempt to sway the second prince's mind.

The other minister noticed it, and he immediately focused on the second prince while speaking, "His Highness, please ignore the words of this fool."

"Silence!" The second prince's voice thundered in the hall, and the entire hall slowly went silent.

The second prince's yell was still echoing in the hall, and no one dared to speak up at this moment. Currently, the second prince was deeply considering both possibilities.

After a couple of minutes, he asked, "How do we frame David's faction then?"

Minister Kenny and a few other ministers had a bright smile when they heard those words while the other ministers groaned in defeat. The second prince had decided to go against the Crown Prince!
