High-ranked guards who had been given charge had torn through every corner of the demon realm, but the search resulted in nothing.

He spent his days either in his lordship's study or curled by the window in their chambers, staring down at the vast castle with vacant eyes. He had seen Kai's real body and everything within him was still shaken up.
