No Escape

Talking about the circumstances that led to these strange arrangements wasn't the main purpose of coming here. Even if it was rather strange for Herriot and Havina to see Terone this serious, they still saw a rather serious bearing of their father. He was discussing the problems posed by the lockdown… and the very matter about the conspiracy. Whether it was true or not, the damage had already been done.

Artie felt a little guilty. It seemed that her actions had brought troubles in places that she was not even looking at. Who knew that tampering with the Gates would also harm the power balance of the descendants against the servants. Perhaps the other descendants weren't able to test this because they didn't fight or that Machiav's forces were rather stronger than normal.

Still, that didn't mean that they needed to forget Herriot's case. Herriot, one of the strongest descendants, actually killed a demon servant in one blow. That was indeed worth the gossips.
