As uproar reigned throughout Klover Estate, the situation in Demin's mansion was different. Despite the shocking news, the atmosphere was unusually tranquil.
Demin was calm. He had received a report from Jin the previous night regarding the success of the mission, and as such, he was satisfied without making any comments.
Having achieved his objectives, Demin saw no need to make hasty moves or draw unnecessary attention toward himself. Instead, he chose to bide his time. After all, he is fully aware of a storm that is about to engulf this estate.

On the next day, Johann returned from the capital. The first thing he noticed was a festive mood in the estate. He was confused about what they were celebrating.
Perplexed by the atmosphere, Johann couldn't help but wonder what had happened in his absence to warrant such celebration. The lesser families, in particular, openly express their happiness.
