Peter Brown had not expected the visitor to be neither Prince Samuel nor Prince Edward, but rather Prince David, who usually didn't talk much. Only then did Peter start to piece together many things. It seemed not all the princes were indeed intent on the struggle for the throne; some had aligned themselves with various powers, and it was unclear what forces Prince David had joined.
Standing there, Peter looked at Prince David and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, David. How did you know I would be here?"
Prince David looked back at Peter and, with a sigh, said, "Some things just turn out this way. Taking actions beyond one's capabilities carries great risks. Oh, Harvey, to blame is only your ambition for the throne. This is a deadly path. With such ambition, death is your only outcome. It doesn't matter whose commands I am following. Ever since you entered this place, even if I do not kill you, others will surely be out for your blood!"
