A Bare-Pole Commander was still contemplating whether to raise a rebellion when the Imperial Guard Army came to arrest him.
Both eyewitness testimonials and material evidence were hastily thrown in front of the Regent Prince.
The evidence was so convincing that the Regent Prince nearly believed it himself.
But he hadn't done it!!
The Regent Prince was utterly unable to defend himself and was thrown into prison.
The news wasn't kept under wraps, and soon the people of the Imperial City all knew about the Regent Prince's intention to rebel.
Rebellion has always been a grave offense implicating the Nine Clans since ancient times.
The Regent Prince is a member of the royal family, so the involvement of the Nine Clans would also implicate the Young Emperor. Thus, it's impossible to involve the Nine Clans, but the entire household's execution is unavoidable.
Regent Prince: "..."
I did nothing!!!
The Regent Prince spent all day in his cell protesting his innocence.
