Inei's POV. Imperial Palace, Tokyo.
As soon as the sun began to set, Shinobu and I reconvene along with Captain Ryu about our plan.
Ryu: So you mean the demon inside the Palace is posing as someone?
Inei: The rumor had been going on and on when I even investigated Chiyoda.
Inei: And not to mention, the incoming invasion of the Imperial Palace.
Inei: But this is what bothered me.
Inei: Why go to such lengths? Why go to create more diversions?
Inei: Then I guess I finally got the motive.
Inei: The true motive.
Shinobu: The true motive?
Inei: To spread terror among Japan.
Shinobu: !?
Ryu: !?
Ryu: Spread terror!?
Inei: Think about it, what would happen, if the Emperor dies?
Ryu: !?
Shinobu: The government shall fall.......
Inei: That is if the Emperor was killed. But, if there would be an heir to the Chrysanthemum Throne.
Shinobu: The Princes. Speaking of the princes, I asked about their father, the Emperor's condition and this also bothered me as well.
Shinobu: For the past three days, he was feeling well. They heard that their father claimed to be at the top of his condition.
Ryu: And what does the Emperor had to do with the ongoing problem?
Inei: That......is the problem.
Ryu: What?
Inei: Let me finish my conclusions before we arrive at that point.
Inei: Actually, we also got another problem here.
Inei: About what happens if the Emperor dies.
Inei: The era would change.
Inei: The problem is, if the news of the Emperor being killed spread out............
Inei: The demon will finally begin to assault Chiyoda and then, began to spread terror and feed on the humans living in Tokyo.
Inei: Once the Imperial Capital falls, Japan would enter another era.
Inei: The Era of Terror.
Ryu: !?
Inei: And I fear, that era is soon about to begin.
Inei: Because............
Inei: The Emperor has been kidnapped.
