The world was shocked with the sudden shock from the sudden news of the Sovereign's demise. When the people in the shadow were still reeling in from the shock of the news, and trying to think of a contingency plan, the palace media secretary, who was under Leo's command, stepped up and spoke while addressing the nation.
This whole thing was enacted within an hour. The people in power, specially the elites of the Morning Star Tower were enraged. They were not fools, they knew someone was pulling the strings. They had investigated all the people and found traces of a external intervention but they could not find out who was it.
They could not make any move against the First Prince and his family, because he had already been declared the regent and the successor to the throne. After the funeral of the late Sovereign, he would be crowned King.
