abilities reigned supreme. Of course this judgement does no harm to the Empire besides their loss of relations with the Demi-humans, as expected, losing in a direct battle had quite a huge impact.
[Fumu, you’ve finally answered correctly]
Along with those words, spotlights showed down onto everyone in the Emperor’s clan. The still young and oldest grandchildren who should not have been at the hall had a necklace with a bright red stone on their necks.
[If you don’t want the Hoelscher blood to be exterminated, don’t forget the oath]
[I know]
[The content of the oath will be made public tomorrow, at the very least liberate all the slaves in the capital by the end of tomorrow]
[By tomorrow? Just how many slaves do you think there are in the Empire……]

[Gaharudo, as a warning. We definitely obtained some help from our benefactor who changed us. However, that power had already became ours exclusively. If we wanted to, we could easily search for information and invade the castle at any time. It’s easy to scratch your neck when sleeping. If you don’t make the laws, even without the power of our benefactor our blades could easily cut your neck]
