In the early and middle stages of the struggle for the throne, the Tenth Prince did not show any desire for the throne, nor did he take any actions to compete for it. Instead, he was manipulated as a pawn by various forces, pulled back and forth amidst the chaos.
In the end, everyone finally realized: the Tenth Prince, seemingly an ordinary piece on the board, was the real player in the game. It was uncertain when he started strategizing, but by the time his intentions were revealed, he had already gained an absolute advantage, eliminating all competitors and inevitably inheriting the throne.
A very patient emperor—this was the evaluation many had of the Tenth Prince.
Richard, however, had a different view. The Tenth Prince was indeed patient, but the true masters of patience were the Truth Society that stood behind him.
Yes, the Truth Society.
