The Demon Clan had made a contract with a human magician to stay on earth.
A contract was made to subordinate the blood of demons to humans and in return, maintain their human bodies. The blood of the demons has since been born in pairs with humans. The partners, called the companions of fate, were born alternatively in five families of the Empire. These five families, which were descended from the Magician, became the center of the Empire along with the Imperial family.
"I'll go first."
Shyang!
Riyan stuck the knife into her waist band. Riyan, who usually likes to roll around on the floor of the Imperial palace, kept her knife untied because it got in the way.
"You don't know if her majesty will run if you inform her you're going there."
Riyan was serious, and also cautious.
It was certain that Cartagena Peirion was born in a pair with Lescal. In the year Cartagena was born, Peirion, one of the five families, made a public declaration and revealed the markings on her body as proof of being a companion.
Until Lescal and Cartagena were formally married four years ago, no one doubted that.
The blood of the demons and their companions were always born as a pair. Among the previous Emperors, some were born without the characteristics of a demon, and in some cases, no companion was born at all - but after Lescal, Cartagena was born.
The markings were undeniable evidence.
It is said that those born in pairs recognize each other's existence even if they don't see each other's faces. Contact, a method of controlling the blood of the demons, also came into effect automatically.
However, during the four years after the wedding, the empress made all sorts of excuses to avoid contact.
No one knew why. Riyan and Serben alone suspected that the Empress was a fake.
However, in the year Cartagena was born, the chief priest himself checked her mark. In the course of the engagement ceremony, Lescal too, saw the markings. They couldn't doubt Cartagena as long as the marks were there.
