Old Enmity

Centaurus was huge. Its population, despite being one of the worst Duchies, was still more than 500 billion.

Due to its vastness in both size and population, people on the borders lived in a different world compared to those in the core parts of the territory.

The population that was following the torture of two men by Havocs was mostly on the borders. Few people elsewhere cared about those two lives. Under the lure of drugs, worse things happened.

All this culminated in the end result of the video failing to gain much popularity. Varian had no idea about it—just like almost everyone else in Ubiq.

Only Princess Catherine who was already following the drug cases closely learned about Havocs torturing two innocent civilians.

If it's just another two people, while Catherine would've felt bad, she wouldn't take action herself. There's too much suffering already.
