So what bring answer to the prayer of Daniel was not not just the fasting but his word, says the angel…
What was Daniel prayer- for the release of the children of isreal from captive, so he openth the book and found that the time for their release has come and he set himself to prayer and after 21 days the angel came and said to Daniel from the first the day you open your mouth in prayer the answer was release but powers withstood me.
It does not matter if you are for 1 day , 2days, 7days fasting, for God has already answer because he is a giving God James 1:5 So therefore it is in our place to received what God has for us in response to our request. called.
Daniel 10:12-13 Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind and heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come as a consequence of [and in response to] your words.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I remained there with the kings of Persia.)
The angel told Daniel not to be afraid - that from the first day he set his heart to undersand what has been happening to his people because of evil degree by the king he therefore humble himself in prayer before God, ("your word were heard Daniel and I have come in response of what you speak to heaven");
"But because the prince of the kindom of Persia refuse the answer prayer to be brought they withstood me 21 days and behold micheal one of the chief prince come to help me for I had been left alone there with the kings Persia but with the cooperate anointing we travail to bring the answer…
These can happen to anyone even till today but if we stay in the place of prayer we will definitely travail. That supposed to mean that the people who delay the answer to the prayer of Daniel was natural kings over Persia.
It was the government of the city that refuse the prayer not to be answered , human authority, constititude authority – so the angel now come to the government of the city to influence them for the released of Israel but that government resist the angel because the government was under the influence of a demon called king of Persia – and behind a king there is a prince and that prince is what Eph. 6:12 describe as principalities and this principalities are in the heart of men that are in the kingdom not just in government but as in general.
Here it is not some demon in the sky it is the demon who lives inside mens heart who will come up with a degree and the "angel said when I came to the prince the king resisted ; but Daniel because you prevail in prayer you refuse to give up, while you were still praying heaven despatch Micheal the archangel and the cooperate influence could not be resist by the kings of Persia and I have brought your answer".
So demon can influence any body who open up to be used by inother to resist ( you )in a particular position of your blessings – so behind flesh and blood there is principalities James 1:21-25

25 AMP: But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).
