Genoa bit everyone after hearing Dylan's work report.

Then, as if waiting, Cassan appeared.

"Sir, I have something to report to you."

"Say it."

"Last night, the demons concentrated on Duke Crawford's residence."

"The demons?"

At that moment, Genoa, who had her eyes fixed on the documents, raised her head.

How can young beasts who are faithful to their instincts set goals and move?

"The demons who were wandering the streets suddenly flocked to the peacock's residence. Now, the corpses of monsters are piled up like a mountain in the peacock mansion."

Genoa tapped the desk with her finger, lost in thought.

[Son, now that you are the prince, you should know about Crawford's secret.]

As soon as he was appointed Crown Prince, he was able to hear the story his father had been hiding.

Crawford's curse and the real reason for annihilating Jeuery. The cause of the creation of the demon.

[do not worry. There is Methos.]

It was then that I first learned that there was a wizard who swore allegiance to his father.

Thanks to that wizard, demons can only appear on the day of the full moon.

[Why can't you stop the day when the full moon rises?]

[Since the full moon has turned red, the magic has gotten stronger that day, so it is difficult to control.]

It was the realm of the gods that govern the heavenly bodies, so I was convinced, but left a feeling of uneasiness of not knowing what it was.

[No worries. The Imperial Palace is protected by a barrier.]

[What about the people? What if they resent the imperial family and cause a riot?]

[What can commoners do? It is something that only the nobles have to persuade.]

Where the hell did that confidence come from?

Looking at him suspiciously, his father smiled arrogantly.

[Don't you know why the nobles are still quiet?]

It was weird. The fact that none of the issues related to monsters were raised at the national meeting.

[Because their well-being is all in my hands.]

His father's story that followed was completely unexpected.

Not only the residences of the nobles located in the capital, but also the castles in some of the estates were protected by the Methos barrier.

What was more shocking was that all of them were able to obtain the barrier only after paying the price the emperor wanted.

Nevertheless, they were still watching the emperor. Because I could break the barrier at any time.

The families that had not yet obtained the barrier were trying to please the emperor in order to obtain the barrier.

In a word, the barrier was nothing more than a leash the emperor put on the nobles.

Genoa, who had escaped from her past memories, narrowed her forehead.

'There are no barriers in Duke Crawford's residence.'

Even without barriers, they could block monsters enough, so there was no need to bow their heads to the emperor.

The same was true of the western families with Crawford as their head.
