Chapter 207 - A Untimely Confrontation

With the month now gone and Asmodia's wishes fulfilled, Haruki and his companions were preparing for their departure from the Dolatian kingdom. However, putting up a hurdle in their path were the elitist demi-humans laying gathered up outside their house.

 

"What are they doing?" Peeking through a window on the upper floor, Haruki asked Riley through his telepathic ability.

 

Meddling amongst the demi-humans outside, Riley posing as an elite herself, scanned for an exit through the crowd before finally giving Haruki an answer.

 

"They think we're humans, so they want to use us as a bargaining chip against the emperor," Riley's revelation further confused Haruki.

 

"Do these idiots really think that the emperor would give up his throne just because they took a few humans hostage?" Haruki asked, baffled by their stupidity.
