Beside him sat a woman with a similar complexion, dressed in matching attire. Her flowing black hair fell over her shoulders, and she, too, had a horn protruding from her forehead.
Seated across from them was a young woman clad in a form-fitting robe of mixed orange and black embroidered with crow-like wings. Her raven black hair poured downwards like a waterfall, framing her sharp features and the gleaming white horn protruding from her forehead.
She bore a similar resemblance to the pair before her.
The man and woman were Duke Zaelthar and Duchess Rhylla. The young woman before them was their daughter, Karli, a Viscount-rank Spirit Beast.
"I received information that another spy from the Spirit Beast Coalition was captured today," Karli said solemnly. "It says that they've decided to pause the war against the Divine Corps and instead send their forces here to suppress the uprising."
