Esper Kingdom's Royal Capital.
Royal meeting room.
The Esper Royal Family is holding an emergency meeting, with attendees including city lords from major cities of the Esper Kingdom and leaders of various guilds.
Presiding over the meeting is Delarosa, the head figure of the Esper Royal Family and the reigning ruler of the Esper Kingdom.
"The news that Ueldo City has been captured by demons has spread across the country. The demons turned our nation's ignorant populace against us, occupied Ueldo City - truly reprehensible, despicable, and shameless."
Delarosa, dressed in a lavish ceremonial robe, spoke slowly with the aura of a ruler.
"According to recent combat reports, the demons sent a Demon Envoy to assist. Ueldo is also the first human city captured by demons. This news will make other countries think we are cowards, pushovers, weaklings."
