After Duchess Lobelia dealt with everything that needed to be taken care of, she invited Liora to go on a trip with her, claiming that it was to gather information.
Liora didn't have a reason to refuse her offer. The Duchess's invitation matched her plan of getting closer to her.
Thus, after a few days of wandering, the two had ended up here, in a city inhabited by mortals.
Still, even though the city was small and no Knight lived here, the story of Hope City had reached this place.
Thinking of her life being packaged as a fairytale and spreading throughout the Iron Armor Empire, Liora couldn't help but feel a little weird.
Perhaps no one could have guessed that she—the hero who saved the human race and was praised by common people and Knights alike—was a Devil whose sole objective was to plunder this world.
If the Will of the World had the ability, it would have brought down punishment to its disobedient "children", who were helping the intruder rather than dealing with them!
