There was a strong sense of unreality.
Everything had happened too quickly, and they hadn't even had time to prepare mentally before it all ended.
For a moment, other than those Prominent Families that had remained neutral from the start, having no intention of getting involved in the struggle for the Emperor's son, the plans and intentions of the other families were thrown into disarray.
The Prominent Families that had stood with An Commandery Prince were, naturally, ecstatic, with some even covertly celebrating the outcome.
Those aligned with Kang Commandery Prince saw their fortunes overturned overnight, scattering like scared monkeys and becoming the targets of ruthless beatings. Countless families publicized their stance, drawing a clear line between themselves and Kang Commandery Prince.
