Demonic Infestation (2)
I heard a knock on my door. "Milady, a letter has been sent to you," the butler said.
"Thank you, Enrico. You can slip it underneath the door."
I grabbed the letter. It must be from Leon. A day had passed since I learned about the Demonic Infestation, and just as Sir Jeralia said, mages from the tower seized the infected ones from the cabin.
When the order from the emperor was announced, many business owners, especially the commoners who depended on their businesses for their everyday living, caused a commotion in front of the palace. They needed a direct explanation from the emperor because it could affect their daily income.
Unlike them, the nobles can live with not being able to entirely run their business for a couple of days because they already have enough wealth to sustain themselves for the time being. The privileged always benefit from every decision the emperor makes, even though they only make up a small percentage of the population.
