The owner of the estate where Bauman resided was a hereditary silver-eyed noble, whose forefathers once produced a Four-winged Winged Knight. The party they hosted was ostensibly open to a wide array of guests, but in reality, attendees were mostly of the silver-eyed lineage.
Although three Witch Kings had already emerged in the Demon World by then, the number of Winged Knights remained just over one hundred, and the political status of the silver-eyed clan often showed signs of instability. Unfortunately, merely boosting member numbers with cloning potions would only go so far, as establishing a spiritual connection with nightmares or summoning entities across dimensions required innate gifts. Even if there were a great deal many silver-eyed individuals, those who lacked the mental capacity to form a connection from a young age would be no more than wastes of space, regardless of how many of them live and abound, as they would not even qualify as prospective knights.
