Chapter 213.1
The Town Where the Demon Lives Part 2
A month had passed since the royal palace was attacked by an unknown monster.
The monster was so powerful that many knights and magicians were incapacitated, and the head court magician was seriously injured, but thanks to their efforts, the monster was vanquished. The official version of the story was as stated.
There was enough damage to cause numerous deaths, and the magic was so powerful that it could be seen even from outside the castle. If they kept quiet, only bad rumors would spread, so such exaggerated details were made public to dispel the people’s fears.
The castle was on high alert for a few days after that day, but it has now regained its composure thanks to the dispatch of priest-knights from the Holy Church in the royal capital. This was because there had been no new attacks in the past month.
The purpose of the Greater Demon, a higher ranking demon that appeared in the city, was unknown. But the demon’s miscalculation was the presence of Carla, who was able to counter the demon.
That was why Carla’s killing of so many knights and magicians was unquestioned.
In fact, the head court magician who was caught up in the deliberate act was burnt to a crisp by the flames, and the one arm he lost was so badly injured that it was not even known whether it could regenerate or not, and he was forced to stay in absolute bed for several months.
“Why does Carla want to be quiet about it?”
Elena, who had been recalled to the royal palace from the academy, muttered such a question, and Rockwell, the escort knight, nodded quietly.
