The Truth

Before a building named the Hall of Edicts in the center of The Demonic Realm Royal City, Teleportation Portals constructed by the Sin Demons opened one after another before its gates.

A dark crimson beam rose from the center of the Hall of Edicts, piercing through the Demon Realm's clouds and reaching the heavens.

It was already deep night in the Demon Realm. Two pale violet moons in the sky illuminated this ancient building.

The Demon Realm had no council. The Rulers' orders were absolute to every member of the Demon Realm.

The Hall of Edicts earned its name because the moment the "banner" was raised, the Demon Realm's Four Dukes and Seven Generals had to be present, regardless of the circumstances.

Very few in the entire Demon Realm dared defy this absolute command. The Black Dragon Duke was one of them.

The citizens of the royal city watched that beam stretching toward the heavens from afar. Every time it appeared, it meant life in the Demon Realm was about to undergo a major turning point.

It might head in a better direction, or it might make the Demon Realm's situation even worse.

The last time the beam had lit up was when Ruler Notlein had set out for the Border Fortress.

Cecily stood in a position equal to that of the Four Dukes within the Hall of Edicts...

She turned her head toward the seat beside her, set slightly farther in. That was the Ruler's seat, a place that had once belonged to her father.

When Cecily had been young, she had watched her father... Notlein, issue commands in all directions as the Ruler from here. Unfortunately, she might never see it again.

A blue-haired woman walked to the seat beside Cecily. She was the Avatar of the Water
