Daniel had an illness. He was bound to die at some point but he held out because he didn't want to leave his loved ones without doing something for them. (The pain was so unbearable most people would've killed themselves instead.)
He also planned his death to happen at his coronation so he allowed the traitors to hurt him badly. Then he planned to hide his body in a secret tunnel to die quietly, but he didn't expect Rael to be there to witness it.
Painful, but in my opinion, it was his best bet. Just wished his loved ones knew how much he was suffering at his last moments.
thanks for letting me know.. I had to drop it bc I was actually so sad that he died
NOOO I LOVE DANIEL... HE JS DIED FOR NO REASON????????????????
