Now, even the Second Empress' people looked at Sharky with a bit of suspicion.
Sharky seemed to have already guessed that the Second Prince would call things into question like this.
He explained in a calm and unhurried manner, "It was because there were clues regarding an immortal medicine in the secret dungeon."
"The late Fiend Emperor defeated the guardian of the immortal medicine and was about to obtain it when the Crown Prince succeeded in his plan. At the time, the late Fiend Emperor was seriously injured and unable to recover."
"Immortal medicine?" An uproar arose once again. All those present became a bit excited when they heard about such a legendary substance. They hadn't expected it to really exist!
Everything now made sense. The Fiend Emperor and the Crown Prince previously shouldn't have been in conflict… but if the Fiend Emperor had obtained an immortal medicine, he would continue being the Fiend Emperor.
