"Witches on the loose. The devil is among us. Everyone pay attention, the devil is roaming among us."

A sneer escapes the emperor's lips as he hears the exaggerated crying coming from the mouth of one of Reverend Laney's assistants. Satoru had received news from his advisor — Suguru Geto, that the reverend and his congregation had started a sort of witch hunt after the feared war that devastated the kingdom.

The emperor managed to get back on his feet, he managed to secure his position and the crown on his head, but of course not alone. Satoru was also informed of the active cruelty of the man of faith in hanging five people, three of them unmarried women of marriageable age, from a tree at the beginning of the forest.

A clear reminder that Reverend Laney's words were not mere drivel. The fat idiot in his black robes with a bible in his armpit shouting words of faith and redemption left and right was going too far.

"What do you think, my dear White Moon?" Satoru mutters after a sigh in the throne room with no one around, turning his hypnotic blue gaze towards you.

The secret kept under lock and key beneath the Palace doors and that not even the guards or former servants there knew. Only the deceased concubines who were able to know of their existence and, unfortunately, were taken with their secret to the grave.

"Should I have the guard imprison that old man for a while, or can I let them capture him for your amusement?I confess that it would be lovely to see my sweet moon taking care of that repulsive being." A mischievous smile adorns the emperor's lips as he still observes and appreciates the beauty of her presence and her magnetic charm.
