Why must the devil be Defeated?

"Whoosh!"

In the garden of the Bigusler Family, Shane's figure appeared amidst a flickering.

"Sigh..."

Rubbing the middle of his forehead, Shane was digesting the information he had just received and truly felt perplexed.

After learning about the real origins of Lasha and Laischa, he understood why the important figures of various forces paid such close attention to them and behaved strangely each time.

"No wonder Luoqi has always been somewhat against me getting too close to this pair of master and servant."

This was because the existence of these two was indeed too special and too significant.

One misstep and if anything unpredictable happened, it would likely cause a huge sensation.

Though Shane had long known that these servants had extraordinary backgrounds and were related to the Demon King to some extent, he had not expected the connection to be so deep.

Of course, Shane wasn't scared, but he felt like he was truly being swept into a massive maelstrom.

If he wasn't careful, even he might end up completely shattered, right?

"It seems, after this matter is resolved, I need to have a good talk with this pair of master and servant."

That's what Shane was thinking.

As for now, he did not desire to be distracted by such complex matters.

After all, he had plenty of his own issues, including the unsolved mysteries involving Nien. With so many worries, he could slowly tackle them one by one.

At present, however, dealing with Moro's matter was the priority.

Shane then utilized his powerful adaptability to organize the sequence of events and did not get too distressed.

Then, Shane laid aside all his worries and went back to his room.

The women's reactions to Shane's return were unexpectedly calm.

Lilith, oblivious from start to finish to what had happened, tilted her head and then snuggled into Shane's embrace, rubbing against his chest, a picture of carefreeness.

Tielle seemed to have adjusted her mindset too, and did not discuss much except to talk a little about the current situation with Shane.

Since she had been found by Shane, Tielle did not plan to act alone anymore.

She knew she had to rethink her plan if she was to retrieve her horn.

Shane wasn't in a hurry either.

He believed that Tielle's horn was most likely in Moro's hands.

And with such a significant incident occurring in Imperial City, Moro must certainly be hurrying back.

In that case, as long as they were fully prepared, they could always wait for the Poisonous Consort to return.

That would be the time to settle all scores.

"Let's wait then."

After some thought, Tielle nodded her head, deciding to coordinate with Shane's actions.

Lilith wouldn't have any objection, or rather, it was unclear if she even understood.

But this little Goddess had a simple idea—follow Shane, do as he instructs, and defeat anyone who plans to harm Shane.

In such circumstances, Shane did pay some attention to the situation concerning Laischa.

Laischa was calm and serene, always expressionless, quietly taking care of Lani without saying or doing anything, as if nothing had happened.

After a while, Lasha came back, sighing and shaking her head, then pulled Laischa to the side to chat about something unknown.

Shane watched all this, pondering thoughtfully.

Various undercurrents surged forth like this.

...

Subsequently, various disturbances appeared one after another in Imperial City.

Following the destruction of the Leferut Family, the Emperor getting cursed to madness, the unexplained phenomena outdoors, and other events, many issues erupted together.

For instance, with the Emperor's madness, as the Empire was leaderless, the ambitious upper echelons of the Imperial Nobles were meddling grossly in state affairs, causing conflicts both large and small.

Some people called out to head to the Kingdom and bring Pope Yule as soon as possible to remove the curse from the Emperor.

Others urged the release of the confined Prince Harvey, having Prince Harvey take charge of the situation.

Still others thought it was necessary to select a new Emperor quickly, with their intentions clear as day.

In short, the Emperor's madness added the final fuel to a country already fraught with internal turmoil, igniting the entire chaotic situation.

At this time, all the Nobles had their own considerations, stances, schemes, and ambitions, all intertwined, creating an unprecedented tension in the Imperial Palace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rocque, along with Tilly, returned to the Imperial Knight Order and easily gained support from a group of loyal subordinates, eventually storming into the Imperial Palace and joining the chaotic situation.

Ostensibly, he aimed to advocate his innocence and clear his name immediately; however, his real intent was to release Prince Harvey from confinement, which is why he made a grand entrance into the Imperial Palace.

Naturally, the Renitra Family, led by Sarilo, would not let Rocque succeed. Upon Rocque's entry, they also unhesitatingly joined the battlefield in the Royal Hall, each advocating their own views.

This situation made the civilians of Imperial City increasingly apprehensive.

"The Empire is in turmoil."

"Those nobles are about to start fighting."
