Alesha has been in charge of investigating what happened, although it seems that among the demons, no one wants to talk about the subject, which means that whoever ordered the attack is a high-ranking demon, whom everyone seems to fear. Alesha, furious, killed all those demons she captured to get information out of them, anyway, they attacked her first when she was on her way to a meeting, even Ritter has finished off a few.
"It hasn't even been two days and another attack, they must really want us dead," Ritter expresses.
"I must be grateful that they keep the excitement in my life," Alesha replies.
"I understand you find it amusing, but it's dangerous, you could be seriously hurt," Ritter mentions with concern.
"I must be so charming that you're worried..."
Saying this, Alesha returns to the carriage, while Ritter remains silent at the girl's words. Later, upon reaching their destination, Alesha finally arrives at her meeting with a baron, with whom her family usually does business and her father has entrusted her to take charge of the meeting. While Ritter waits outside, he can't help but feel concerned about both attacks.
On the other hand, in the palace, the ministers have reached an agreement and that is that they ask to remove Delia from her position as crown princess and since they know that the prince loves her, they ask that she be only a concubine, but she will be given a contraceptive medicine, to prevent her from giving birth to a child, due to her family history, they cannot allow a child of hers in the palace and the only one with that right will be whoever they choose as empress. The emperors have no choice but to accept, although Johan refuses to humiliate Delia in that way.
"Why do they have to do this to me? My father is not what they say and even if he is, I am not the same..." Delia covered her face as she sobbed inconsolably.
Her maids try to calm her down, but she can't stop. Johan arrives at the room and asks the maids to leave.
"Your Highness... please, tell me that I will not be demoted to a concubine... tell me that you will not have other wives..." she pleads.
"Even if they want that, it will never happen, you are my only wife," Johan promises.
Although he was somewhat frustrated, since he is the only one who tries to do something to prevent Delia from being demoted, but she does not try to show that she can be a good crown princess.
"Your Highness please, find the culprit, I am sure this is a conspiracy... what if it was Lady Von Hansen? I heard other ladies say that Lady Von Hansen's name could be cleared and she could be released from exile,"
"What? That will never happen, she almost killed you, don't worry, she will not return to this empire," Johan promises.
No, he can't allow Alesha's exile to be revoked, she did so much damage to Delia for so long.
Meanwhile, the emperor has summoned Duke Von Hansen, for he has something important to tell him. Upon having him before him in his study, the emperor hands him a folder.
"Here is the statement of the Minister of Justice, he was allied with the Marquis Lange to frame your daughter for the attempted murder of Lady Lange," the emperor mentions.
"I always told you, Your Majesty, my daughter was never guilty, rest assured that if she had wanted that girl dead, she would be," assures the Duke.
"How proudly you say it, Duke. Because of this, your daughter's exile will be annulled and she will be offered compensation for the inconvenience caused," assures the emperor.
"As long as the supposed compensation is not to try to get her to marry the prince, maybe I'll accept it, although she is doing well in her new home, so I don't know if she will want to return," replies the Duke.
"She can do what she thinks is best and don't worry, my son has shown that he doesn't deserve her."
Saying this, the Duke retires. As he gets into his carriage, a raven perches on the window and flaps its wings.
"Give this to Alesha and let her decide what to do."
The raven holds out a bag given to him by the Duke and rises in a northerly direction, now it is up to his daughter whether or not she returns, although she surely will one day, he knows his daughter and he knows that she will seek revenge. The Duke can't help but smile proudly, his daughter is so much like his wife.
*****
Somewhere in a dark cave, several demons have come before a masked man, who was sitting on a kind of throne, the demons look down, reporting that they have not been able to fulfill the order given by that man.
"I didn't really expect you to succeed the first time, she is a daughter worthy of Von Hansen."
"That's why we can't let her live. This is the time to free ourselves and besides, we can't allow her to have the offspring of that lycan," assures a beautiful demon woman.
She sits on top of a rock in that cave. Her name is Azula, a beautiful woman, who belongs to the strongest demons of the demonic realm, while the masked man is Malik Stein, a demon.
"I know perfectly well, so go ahead, take care of eliminating them," he orders.
"Me?" Azula makes a face.
She doesn't like having to go to the human world, since when crossing the barrier, her power will be less than what she possesses in the demonic realm, but it is necessary to finish off Alesha and the Von Hansens.
