After a large-scale purge targeting the two legendary dukes, the nobility of the Lockman Kingdom fell entirely silent. After being subjected to multiple purges, the remaining nobles, now a mere tenth of the number during Belradin's reign, trembled within their own castles.
This was because they believed that the tyrant, who had already left, had returned. The Cloud Giant Legion that began its national tour was the best proof, as only Duke Mureya would have such a large number of Cloud Giants accompanying him.
After slaughtering every noble involved with the two Dukes, a large gap was left in the nobility of the Lockman Kingdom. Therefore, Queen Remilia hosted another large-scale conferment ceremony, and over three hundred substantive nobles with territories appeared. Most were members of the Demon-hunting Group who had made impressive military achievements during the Magic Disaster. The rewards were well-deserved.
