The Charming Ruler
The four people headed to the Ruler's palace earlier than anticipated. Abaddon had been expecting to learn a lot about the massacres that had taken place within Izanagi. The four of them assumed the appearance of commoners and listened in to conversations in the outskirts and within the city.
Aisling and Shekansha had even gone around a local mall to ask about the occurrence discreetly. However, it seemed like business as usual, no matter where they went. No one spoke of the gruesome affairs, and there was no scent of fear in the air, even among the weakest people.
The four were confused. Even Farallon City, which had only experienced a few minor attacks, was not as calm as Izanagi. Moreover, the people would discuss the occurrences from time to time. The complete lack of information and the calm struck them as odd.
