Chapter 2056: The Predicament

Darrin replied, "Personally, I think it's possible."

Luther gasped. The royal family?! The Rohomes royal family was indeed formidable. If so, it would explain why no channels could find any information about Joyce.

Cecelia's face turned serious. "What did you say? The emperor only has a few days left? Are you sure?"

"Yes, there's no cure, but he is still conscious and not in a coma. This is the most accurate information I have. I reported the details to the Marshal half an hour ago. His instructions were for me to stay and keep an eye on Rohomes' movements," Darrin replied. "As for what exactly is happening in the East Palace, I really can't find out. Their security is too tight. Moreover, the Crown Prince is said to be ruthless and unpredictable; very few people can get information about the East Palace."

"Anomalies in the East Palace at this time are baffling. Is it related to the royal succession?" Luther asked.

"Unlikely. The Crown Prince has no need to act now, which makes it even stranger," Darrin said, his voice filled with doubt.

Cecelia asked again, "Has the emperor announced a successor? Will the Crown Prince ascend smoothly? Do you have any more information?"

"Honestly, it's uncertain. Currently, Prince Reuben is very popular, overshadowing the Crown Prince. It's entirely possible that the Crown Prince could be replaced as heir. Until the last moment, no one knows for sure; everything depends on the emperor's decision. This is the biggest risk right now."

"I understand. Rohomes might be on the brink of change. Did the Marshal want you to stay?" Cecelia asked.

"Yes," Darrin replied.

him. "Don't rush; we can't act recklessly right now. Luther, I know you're anxious to see Joyce and bring her back-I feel the same way-but we don't know where she is or who took her. Additionally, the royal situation is unclear. If there's no internal conflict, we might alert them unnecessarily. If there is a change in succession and Reuben takes over-he's friendly with us-he could help us instead. If worse comes to worst... we'll discuss our options then. I've heard that while the Crown Prince is ruthless, he comes from a legitimate lineage that values bloodlines despite modern meritocracy principles. Our country has never been on good terms with his
