As soon as Leonard finished his remarks, the person from the other side turned quiet.
"You don't have to bluff me." The person snickered. "I've gone to the captain's room and checked all the radars. Nobody is nearby and I made sure to derail the ship's journey before the system undergoes malfunction."
Without a doubt, the enemy believed Leonard was bluffing and wanted to cause them to become paranoid.
Unfortunately, they had made sure to verify and confirm everything before finalizing the assassination. They only bothered to reply because they believed victory was just right before their eyes.
They also wanted to know how a crown prince would react when he realized he was going to die like any regular person would.
So what if you were born as royalty or with a noble bloodline?
In the end, they still meet in the same death trajectory as everyone else.
