Chapter 350: Neutral Nation (3)
* * *
The morning of the 15th day of the 3rd month of the year 1512 on the Imperial Calendar.
The 3rd month was when the coldness of winter started to fade away. During times of war, armies would shut themselves away in their camps and only start moving once the 3rd month arrived. To the people, the 3rd month was when wars started again, so the month was dedicated to the God of War, Ares.
A large meeting was planned to happen on this day.
A new year was beginning as spring approached. Thus, Demon Lords, the archdukes from the demon world, and the citizen representatives from the free cities were all invited.
There were several vampires among the archdukes and citizen representatives, so the meeting was held at dusk in consideration of them. This was strange for the humans who typically held their events during the afternoon, but this was considered a common courtesy among demons.
After careful consideration, the independent Demon Lords decided to carry out their assassination on this day. There were several reasons for this.
First, the palace would be incredibly busy preparing for a large number of guests.
Second, it wouldn’t seem strange for them to enter the palace during an occasion like this.
