"Your Grace, we're lowering a rope." Just then, a voice called from above. The demonic beasts raised their heads and growled threateningly toward the ceiling hole, but they didn't turn toward us. Weak light filtered through the hole as Benji, Love, and Wallit poked their heads through and waved. Soon a rope descended. "We need to go up together. Can it support our weight?" "Yes, it's fine." Kaien tugged on the rope to test it, then started to remove the sword and scabbard from his waist…-

My body fell backward, dropping down. It felt like I was sinking into cold water. Frozen with tension, I couldn't even make a sound. As the beast's growl and foul smell rose up, my body began to tremble. Am I going to die like this? I had just gotten married and thought I would be happy with Kaien. Helbaitz shouted as he detached from me. It was too dark to see what was happening, but my body was wrapped in something soft, slowing my fall. "Helbaitz." Finally, my voice came…

The plaza was truly like hell with demonic beasts rampaging and battle formations in disarray. Reinforcements had arrived from the outskirts, but many didn't know this. The plan had gone awry, and parts of the wooden barrier had collapsed. Though people fought to protect their lives and families, a sense of defeat began to seep into their hearts. Seeing the attacks of massive demonic beasts right before their eyes, their fear deepened. Moreover, some people had seen and heard what happened…

"What exactly did you do this for, Grand Duke?" A knight standing nearby frowned as he listened to Duke Teian's words. The Duke was speaking as if Kaien had planned this terrible incident. "You deliberately drove the demonic beasts to the Imperial City. Do you have some other motive?" A watching knight couldn't hold back and spoke up. "That's enough, Duke! His Grace has actively led from the front in this matter!" "Yes, that's right! Without His Grace, we couldn't have herded the demonic…

"Yes. The knights are also driving them toward the Imperial City." "That doesn't explain why the demonic beasts are moving like this. They're heading straight for the Imperial City as if it's their target. Are you sure you placed the medals correctly?" "Yes! Without a doubt!" Two people came into my view. Both wore black robes and white masks with red magic stones glowing between their eyebrows. "Kaien Blemer, what exactly did he do?" I was staring blankly, trying to understand the…

"Three have appeared in Ons to the south!" "Two orcs and three litups in Rogina and Hal to the east and west!" "Four rumbles in Karso to the north!" Knights and mercenaries came to the meeting room one after another to relay news. Footsteps continued as they shouted about where demonic beasts had appeared. They emerged from all directions around the capital, giving the feeling of surrounding the Imperial City. Will it be okay? Just as Kaien had said, they suddenly appeared in large…

When I woke up in the morning, the bed sheets and pillow next to me were pressed down. Mrs. Moson told me that Kaien had returned at dawn, slept briefly, and left again. With meetings, the Emperor's summons, fortress maintenance, demonic beast consultations, and more, Kaien was incredibly busy. He could have found lodging nearby, but he always returned to my side. I knew he felt comfortable beside me, but the travel time seemed wasteful. I wished he would rest a bit more during that time…

Bloodstains were not yet cleaned away. Those with bandages wrapped around their bodies still bore the chaos of the previous night. "Even if they locked their doors, they should come out at times like this! If they serve God, they should take pity on people and help them!" "They take donations from people, but when they're actually needed, those priests are nowhere to be seen!" Some blamed the temple, while others blamed the Emperor, mixing in curses. "How is this the priests' fault? It's all…

"This is the evidence." Kaien placed a wooden medallion on the office table. After dinner, I was in Kaien's office touching Helbaitz while listening to reports from Ransel and Baron Gohalm. When the conversation from yesterday's banquet came up and they asked about the evidence, he had said it was a secret and didn't tell even the Emperor, but now he pulled out a medallion from his chest. "Oh, this is the medallion Helbaitz gave me. Are you saying this moves demonic beasts?" Helbaitz…

If the Emperor had sent knights based only on the newspaper article and then a correction was published saying it was false news, his reputation would have been greatly damaged. Outwardly, the Emperor criticized the newspaper company, but he was greatly pleased. "Your Majesty was so anxious. But you trusted the Grand Duke until the end." "The report was delayed, but fortunately it was false news." When the Empress chimed in from the side, Kaien responded gently. The Count and Countess also…
