Within the Regency Hall of the royal palace, crisscrossing columns of light poured down from the wall lamps, illuminating this ancient Demon World palace.
On the elevated platform opposite the seats of the nobles and civil officials quietly rested the princess's throne, and not far from the throne stood Fallen Lord Calila.
Princess Hyperion sat quietly next to Calila, then remained silent.

The other members of the Demon Race in the seats, revering the Fallen Lord, now showed respect to Hyperion as well.
Her performance a week before had indeed left the Demon Race unable to see through her.
All members of the Demon Race were careful to avoid provoking her displeasure.
As the current ruler of the Demon World, and also the only Ninth-order civil official apart from the generals of the first and second Army Groups, Calila's mere presence emitted an aura that made the other Demon Race members feel fear.
