"The Yan Demon Clan is truly ferocious," a demon whispered in a tavern, clicking his tongue. "I heard that loyal Chief Guard who was always with her got dismembered and fed to the subordinates, just for failing this one task! She's ordered that Nicholas must be found, dead or alive!"
"Not only that, her people are searching everywhere. They interrogate everyone they meet, and if they don't get the information they want, they just start slaughtering!"
"I heard a lot of Foreign Demons have already died! Those lapdogs of the Pureblood Families get pushed around by their masters, so they take it out on us!"
"..."
Other demons wore looks of grief and rage, having lost friends and relatives at the hands of the Pureblood Families' minions.
"It's all so pointless. Why bother? Nicholas didn't do anything but write a few storybooks, and now he's being hunted like this. Who knows if we'll ever get to read such brilliant stories again?"
