Chapter 126
Much remains shrouded in mystery regarding the secret society within the Blue Magic Tower, the Sorceress Council.
Masters of intrigue and deception whose true nature even the Empire and the Crimson Magic Tower fail to grasp fully. After all, not even the Black Duke, who knows every secret of the Empire, nor even Dale himself, could have anticipated the slightest connection between the York family and the Sorceress Council.
It is not ‘people’ who rule the Empire. Yet, that does not mean beings unworthy of being called human are bound together by a single cause.
Vampires, nightmares, and countless other monstrous races—they were merely contenders in an arena where species fought beneath the surface.
The true nature of this world, endlessly shifting alliances centered around ‘Shadow and Gold’.
Within it, lifelong enemies or lifelong allies were nothing but pleasant-sounding facades.
After concluding the meeting with the House of York, the ‘Black Prince’ returned to the Duchy of Lancaster.
The women of House York carry the blood of succubi. Using that demonic blood and wisdom, the House of York rose to become one of the empire’s foremost great lords, and thus they became the empire’s undisputed power behind the throne.
The true nature of the beings ruling the empire, beings that could scarcely be called human. It was not without reason that they were called the ‘Witches of York’.
At least up to that point, it was a fact known to Dale and the Black Count as well, as ‘insiders of the empire’.
