In the presence of witnesses and incriminating evidence, His Highness the Crown Prince vehemently denied any association with the men in black, staunchly asserting that he had no knowledge of their actions. He went so far as to swear upon the heavens that he would meet a gruesome fate if he had indeed ordered an assassination on his Third Brother.
The Crown Prince elaborated, contending that his Third Brother had always been frail and infirm, requiring respite in a temple, remaining aloof from worldly matters. He insinuated that his Third Brother was mentally unstable, which could explain his alleged attempt to harm him.
"Father," the Crown Prince continued, "someone must have stolen my guard's token and impersonated me to carry out this heinous act against Third Brother. Their intent was to create discord between us and achieve the sinister goal of eliminating two adversaries in one stroke."
