Those people were talking about Liang. He got afraid on hearing his name in the town, he didn't even know that how his news spread in the town, then he suddenly remembered that Mio once told him that the demon Prince is assigned by the emperor to kill him. He ran away from there and hid behind the wall near the bulletin board, he's not even capable of moving now. After some time, when it gets more crowed he came out and tried to escape, but suddenly he stopped and saw that there is a cart passing by and everyone is bowing down, he didn't want to raise any kind of suspiciousness so he also bowed.
That cart is not an ordinary thing, it is a royal cart of the crown Prince of demon world, but Liang didn't know about it and when the cart passed he raised his head and looked at it, he barely saw the back of the prince, and he felt like he saw him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he saw him before. He suddenly came out of his thoughts and started to run towards the forest, but before he could make it back he got caught by some bandits.
Liang thought to himself "let's wait here and see what they want, I'll give them whatever they want and then again start running towards home", even though Liang already planned how he is gonna escape from here, but what the bandits said was way unexpected than what he thought. They told him that they know his true identity and if he didn't cooperate with them, they will kill him on the spot, Liang didn't believe him, he laughed and asked them what they know about him, one of the bandits say "you think it's funny, we know that you are the son of the emperor", now Liang really laughed out so loud that bandits got confused, Liang said " from what angle do you think I am THE. CROWN. PRINCE! did someone hit you that badly???? ", the man behind the leader of the gang said "are you taking us for the fool, these are the clothes from the royal palace... do you think you can fool us???". Now Liang was the one who was confused, he thought that "these clothes are Mio's, but why are they claiming it to be some royal's or official's clothes???".
He was thinking while one of them started to attack him, before he got stabbed by their weapon he dogged, but suddenly the other one stabbed Liang on his waist. Liang had already lost some of his powers when he fell from the angels world, and now he is too weak that now he couldn't even beat some demons.
Liang is thinking that this is his end when suddenly Mio came to his rescue, even though Mio never killed anyone but when he is made no one can escape from his anger, he took out his whip and with an annoyed expression, he tells them "this is the demonic whip... only one hit and your soul will be turned to my whip's food". When those people see Mio they think that just going from here now is the best idea, and they can come back some other time, they run away from there. When Mio sees Liang's condition, he lifts him into his arms and run towards home. Mio dresses Liang's wound and gives him some medicine, when Liang falls asleep Mio strokes his head gently and started crying, his heart aching, and he's continuously blaming him self saying that "if... if I came earlier this would not happen to you, I am the cause of your condition... please forgive me.... please...", Mio ran from there and crying bitterly like if something happens to him, he is not gonna live anymore.
