Chapter 119 Collision
The attempted Assassination at the Yi Royal Palace could not be quietly swept under the rug like the Grand Elder’s Assassination in the Martial Alliance.
Not only was it a matter with significant political repercussions, but Namgung-woo had also made quite a spectacle of it.
“With all that thunder and lightning striking in the middle of the night… it was visible even south of the Naksu River.”
Yumyeon, the Martial Alliance Chief Steward, spoke with a tone that suggested things had become very complicated.
“Ah, I’m certainly not complaining. As the Martial Alliance Chief Steward, I am grateful that you prevented this incident. If that person, Heavenly Feather Sword, had actually assassinated the Yi Royal Prince… it would have been horrific.”
Yumyeon had thought, Surely, they wouldn’t go to such insane lengths. Although he himself was the son of a traitor who had deposed an Emperor, he had never assassinated an Emperor.
If Seomun Pyo had succeeded in killing the Yi Royal Prince, the Martial Alliance and the Imperial Court might have both plunged down an unstoppable slope towards a cliff.
Since it was merely an attempted crime, the Alliance Leader and the Yi Royal Prince could now hold a private audience to discuss how to resolve the situation.
Yumyeon let out a deep sigh of relief.
Namgung-woo momentarily turned his attention away from the private audience between the Alliance Leader and the Yi Royal Prince, which was likely happening on an upper floor, and spoke.
