Kafu the Sixth was assassinated in the midst of the banquet.
His heir, Prince Mura, was subdued on the spot by the people of the Gold Silver Clan. Originally, the Gold Silver Clan wanted to kill him along with his father, but Aler stopped them.
"Spare his life, he's still of use,"
Aler said so.
He did so not out of kindness, nor did he really want to spare the life of Prince Mura, but because if they killed both the King and his heir, they would leave themselves no way out.
If only the King were slain, they could claim to have removed a tyrant and seek the support of the capital's citizens. However, if Mura were killed, things would become extremely complicated.
