The game was up.
Witnessing the scene where Henry and the Intelligence Authority seamlessly united as a single formidable entity, the Second Prince was engulfed by a wave of profound desolation, teetering on the brink of despair.
Stripped of the pivotal support from the Intelligence Authority, his position became exceedingly vulnerable, akin to a defenseless lamb awaiting its inevitable doom at the hands of a predator.
In this case, the predator was none other than Henry.
Renowned for his unparalleled prowess, Henry had previously demonstrated his might by vanquishing almost every notable adversary during the grand banquet hosted by the king.
This undeniable display of strength made it crystal clear that, in the absence of the strategic advantage once provided by the Intelligence Authority, the Second Prince stood no chance in a direct confrontation against Henry's overwhelming might.
