"That's why we can't just sit there and wait for death."
The eldest prince turned around, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Although Soul Princess can monitor our minds, she cannot stop our true murderous intent. Father wants us to fight among ourselves and use us as tools to balance the forces of all parties... Then we will put on a show for him."
The Second Prince frowned: "Acting?"
"That's right."
The eldest prince's lips curled up into a calculating smile.
"Openly, we continue to fight to the death, making Father believe that we are still under his control. Secretly..."
He lowered his voice, "Find a way to break the Soul Princess's control. I've found that although the ruins where the Soul Princess was born have disappeared, a 'Soul-Calming Stone' was left behind. It may be able to suppress the Soul Princess's power."
A glimmer of hope flashed across the Ninth Prince's eyes, then dimmed again.
"The Soul-Calming Stone? That thing disappeared a hundred years ago. Even if it still exists, how can we find it given our current situation?"
"There's always a way."

The conference room fell silent, with only the star patterns on the wall still moving silently.
The three princes exchanged glances, each seeing the same resoluteness and fear in their eyes. They all knew that in this game with their father, one wrong move could lead to destruction.

The eldest prince picked up the star crystal ring on the table and put it back on his finger.
"From today on, act according to the plan. Remember, no one can reveal their true intentions until they are absolutely sure."
The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince nodded slowly. The figures of the three of them appeared particularly secretive and dangerous under the reflection of the star pattern.
The vortex of power in the Matrix Galaxy is once again undercurrent because of these three princes who have been implanted with Soul Princesses.
