Everyone has secrets

"Your highness, I am afraid this might not be a simple one-time occurrence," Liam explained. He spoke as if it really pained him to see all the people getting hurt.

The King as well heard him out patiently and did not interrupt or shut him up. This was how he knew that he was going on the right track.

And after listening to everything he had to say, the King finally spoke up. "You are right. This is indeed not a one-time occurrence, but rest assured." 

"Our Kingdom along with the divine temple's help is dealing with these horrendous demons. You have nothing to worry about."

"Thank you, your highness. We are all very grateful for your assistance." Liam quickly revealed a happy expression, but he still looked a bit reluctant.

"Your highness… that…"

"What? Speak up."

"As a Duke serving under your highness, I really wish to help with this issue as well. Is there anything I can personally do to mitigate this problem?" Liam sincerely asked.
