The dilapidated banquet hall was replaced by a dense forest that had grown back, and the golden light that had only remained for half was completely obscured by the lush foliage.
Countless elves were transported by Kokot to the vicinity of a giant tree.
They clung to the branches, peeking out from among the lush green leaves, gazing curiously at the towering, transparent barrier rising before them.
Thanks to Kokot's careful protection, the elves were completely spared from the battle in the courtyard, allowing them to observe safely.
The nobles stood at the edge of the courtyard, looking up with pale eyes that gleamed with astonishment and confusion.
Even now, the nobles remain puzzled and curious about the reason for the sudden appearance of these witchers.
The identity of visitors is strictly controlled within the empire, especially in the capital region.
Every non-imperial resident who enters the capital undergoes a rigorous identity check.
To ensure that we have a thorough understanding of the background of every outsider.
The sudden large-scale appearance of organizations like the Witcher in the capital, without their identities being leaked, is concerning.
This was almost unheard of in the empire.
Moreover, this time, they not only appeared in the capital, but they also came out in large groups.
If they hadn't suddenly appeared around the banquet hall, the nobles present might not have noticed them until they left.
But then they realized, the Empress of the Empire is also a Witcher!
Suddenly, all of this made sense.
So they didn't notice.
When Lia saw the group of witchers from a distance, she immediately lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, and remained silent.
Seeing Leah like this, Gwen thought she was feeling unwell.
So, with a hint of doubt, he gently patted Lia on the back and asked softly:
"Lia, what's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing."
Lia looked up and managed a weak smile.
Because Lia noticed it.
These witchers are the same people who recently signed contracts with Clavner and were forced to work in her house.
Without a doubt, it was Victor who called them out again.
The problem is, whether it's a demon or a smuggled demon hunter who illegally leaves such a thing behind.
To put it bluntly, those are all crimes!
Moreover, it was a combination of multiple crimes!
Although their family has done this kind of behavior, which operates in a legal gray area, quite often.
But!
The past is the past, the present is the present!
On this occasion, with nobles and royalty gathered, Victor's actions were tantamount to stripping naked for all to see.
When the nobles recovered from their shock, everyone knew just how outrageous their family's crime had been.
After a long while, Lia took a deep breath.
After a long period of contemplation, he gradually revealed a relieved expression.
"never mind."
A crime? So what if I committed one!
Anyway, their family has already publicly supported Princess Aurelion.
When the princess ascends to the throne, her teacher will still be Victor.
Who would care what illegal things their family has done?
Thinking about this, Liya simply gave up on caring about the family's reputation.
After all, there's no use worrying; it's only a matter of time before Clavina's reputation deteriorates.
Anyway, things weren't any better.
Thinking of this, Liya immediately relaxed.
At this moment, she finally had time to look at the transparent barrier in front of her.
Because of the distance, she couldn't see clearly what was happening inside.
However, Lia knew that Victor was still inside, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
That demon looks so scary, it shouldn't be able to hurt me.
Thinking of this, she curiously turned to Gwen beside her and asked:
"Will this be enough to control the two emperors... and the demons?"
Before Gwen could reply, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind them:
"The Second Prince is the vessel of evil."
"What we need to do is remove the demon from the Second Prince."
As the sound rang out, the two couldn't help but turn around and look.
It was a woman wearing a silver-white mask and a witcher's tight-fitting uniform.
Her graceful figure was partially visible beneath her tight-fitting clothes, and a large black hood that completely covered her hair and half her head draped over her shoulders.
With her crisp footsteps, the other person walked up to Lia.
However, upon hearing what the other person said, Lia was somewhat puzzled, her eyes filled with clear confusion.
Because she didn't understand at all.
As if understanding that Lia didn't understand, the other party explained it again in a very simple way.
"We can ensure that the demon will be brought under control."
Lia immediately understood.
Considering that the other person was dressed in the same clothes as the witchers inside, the credibility should be very high.
However, at that moment, Gwen's gaze suddenly fixed on the female witcher.
Sensing Gwen's gaze, the other person coughed lightly twice, then let out a low voice:
"Uh...is there a problem?"
She even deliberately deepened her voice.
Gwen did not respond, but lowered her head, scrutinizing the witcher's figure from top to bottom.
His gaze swept back and forth across the other person's chest, as if he were weighing something.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the distance, and the pale area in the distance slowly dissipated.
The transparent barrier, soaring high into the sky, slowly collapsed from the air like a shattered mirror, its countless interwoven patterns beginning to drift erratically.
Sensing the massive shockwave emanating from the center of the courtyard, Gwen and Lia quickly turned around to look.
