The sheer amount of paperwork and political things that came after that whole mess might just prove as troublesome as the fight itself, Cedric imagined.
With the existence of the demons in the middle of the city, people would of course worry about their safety and security. They would question the ability of the City Lord and his men, they would complain to him about a lot of things, and so on...
Cedric got the impression that the City Lord wasn't too fond of politics despite having his status so he imagined that he would respond negatively. However, that's not something that he should concern himself with, because as far as public opinion goes, Cedric was just like them; a normal but also endangered citizen of the Black Thread City.
He didn't contact Arishem either. He knew that the old man was facing pressure from the authorities just as much as the City Lord did. He must be really busy right now, so he decided to not disturb the old man just yet.
